Daily Cuts - Why Russia’s embrace of North Korea is worrying
A Russian delegation has arrived in North Korea for talks, signalling a strengthening of relations between Moscow and Pyongyang. The quietly organised visit, led by the chairman of the Russia-North Korea friendship parliamentary group, comes after Vladimir Putin’s visit to China and fresh US sanctions on Russia-North Korea weapons exchange. Asia First’s Hairianto Diman and Susan Ng discuss possible outcomes of this visit with Leonid Petrov, Senior Lecturer, International College of Management Sydney; Visiting Fellow, Australian National University.
