During Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to North Korea, the White House in the United States urged him to relay a message to Kim Jong Un, that diplomacy is the only solution to the Korean Peninsula issue.

Foreign media outlets like Voice of America (VOA) and BBC reported on the 18th that the White House reminded Putin of the commitment made by both countries’ leaders during last month’s Russia-China summit, where they reaffirmed that political and diplomatic means are the only viable means to resolve the Korean Peninsula issue.

During a routine briefing, White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre expressed, “We hope that Putin will convey this message to Kim during this meeting.”

She further emphasized that “anyone investing in upholding peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula, supporting the international non-proliferation regime, complying with UN Security Council resolutions, and supporting the people of Ukraine in their struggle against Russian aggression for their sovereignty and independence should be deeply troubled by the growing cooperation between Russia and North Korea.”

She also stated, “We have warned that North Korea’s supply of weapons to Russia is facilitating Russia’s brutal war in Ukraine.”

According to BBC reports, the White House is apprehensive that Putin’s visit to North Korea is lending support to Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Jean-Pierre emphasized, “We believe that no country should provide a basis for Putin to promote Russia’s aggressive actions in Ukraine, which are evident today.” She pointed out that “Russia is blatantly violating the UN Charter and trying to weaken the international system.”
