During a dinner hosted by US President Joe Biden in Washington, the Prime Minister of New Zealand, the South Korean first lady, the South Korean President, the Ukrainian President, the Ukrainian first lady, and the Japanese Prime Minister were all in attendance. Members of NATO expressed concern about North Korea's growing ties with Russia and condemned North Korea's weapons exports to Russia. They also stated that North Korea and Iran are fueling Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine by providing direct military support to Russia. The leaders also discussed ways to address the military cooperation between Russia and North Korea. The communique highlighted the role of NATO's Indo-Pacific partner countries, including South Korea, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, in dealing with common security challenges and outlined plans for cooperation in supporting Ukraine, cyber defense, countering disinformation, and technology. Efforts are underway to institutionalize cooperation between NATO member states and the Indo-Pacific partners, including establishing a new intelligence-sharing mechanism for South Korea with NATO authorities to monitor Russia's use of North Korean ammunition or weapons in Ukraine. However, South Korea has not announced new plans to aid Ukraine during the NATO summit, despite previously pledging substantial aid.
