On 25 November 2024, the Ambassador of Latvia to Sweden, Ilze Rūse, met the Ambassador of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) to Latvia, Ri Won Guk (residing in Sweden).
At the meeting, the Ambassador of the DPRK was delivered a demarche condemning the increasing military ties between the DPRK and Russia. The Latvian side expressed unequivocal condemnation of the decision to send DPRK troops to support Russia in its illegal war of aggression against Ukraine. It was underlined that deepening of military cooperation and arms transfers between the DPRK and Russia are in a flagrant violation of multiple United Nations Security Council resolutions, namely, resolutions 1718 (2006), 1874 (2009), and 2270 (2016), as well as of the fundamental principles of the UN Charter.
Russia and its proxies have recently taken escalatory steps, including the launch of an intermediate-range ballistic missile by Russia against Ukraine, to terrorise the Ukrainian people and intimidate Ukraine's supporters. Those deplorable actions will not change the firm resolve of Latvia and like-minded countries around the world to support Ukraine until its victory over the aggressor, Russia.
