The South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday expressed regret over North Korea and Russia's commitment to engage in military technology cooperation during the summit between their leaders.

Ministry spokesperson Lim Soo-suk said during a regular briefing that Pyongyang and Moscow signed a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement and openly announced its military technology cooperation despite repeated warnings from the international community, adding that this violates UN Security Council resolutions.

In response, the spokesperson said the international community, including the allies of South Korea, will take corresponding measures and resolution actions against acts that threaten the nation's security.

Lim further revealed that the government is currently reviewing the specific contents of the agreement between North Korea and Russia and will announce the official government position on the matter soon.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement after their summit on Wednesday, which also includes military assistance "without delay" if either is attacked.
