korea alliance. the conversation was part of the center for strategic international forum on the relationship between the two countries. >> i'm looking for someone to give me a thumbs up here. i'm going to assume that we have it shamed conditions for lunch. we are going to go to try to follow an excellent set of keynote addresses from dealing foreign minister and secretary of state that outlined the session well. we are honored to be here. i know i speak for the entire panel and, i really want to make a strong contribution to this really important event here today in washington. we are trying to keep up with the secretary and foreign minister, we have an all-star panel to kick this off. i am going to go through their bios very quickly. the truncated version. everyone knows them. they are all famous already. look them up online if you have any cushions or want to know more about their storied path. we are here to talk about the present and the future. i'm going to try to get right into it. let's go le

i think you as korea alliance we have to think about -- the u.s.-korea alliance. korea wants to strengthen the u.s.-korea lines. at the same time we have china but i think united states and korea we have to maintain trust. the u.s. has to make the trust upon korea, and sometimes in this kind of structure, united states might have some kind of mind that korea might have some other mind towards china. i think there is maybe through three decades we might have that kind of idea. but now we are very strict because we are democratic country. we are reflecting korean people's perspective. so 80% korean people they still share anti-china sentiment and 90% junk generation they should the anti-china anti-. that is the basis of our kind of attitude towards united states and china. still, many korean people share -- in terms of security we have to maintain u.s.-korea alliance. that is for sure. terms of economy we have to divert from china to u.s. side or to the global site. that is current situation. as china specialist i think i always promoting, we have good relationship

and join the alliance. the question of extending the fifth article to one or another part of the generally recognized ukrainian territory is what rasmussen proposed today, well, i also analyzed the proposal of our other colleagues, well, a large number of american and former, and well, former diplomats, military, analysts who not so long ago, well, in cooperation with the kyiv security forum, they came up with a proposal, regarding the need to invite ukraine to the alliance right now at the same washington summit that rasmussen is talking about, they too, as a matter of fact, if we go into details, they also talk about a certain gradual spread of security guarantees by the alliance to those territories that controlled i believe that some creative approaches to how, as quickly as possible, ukraine can be anchored in the alliance, they should have the right to discuss, this is important in order for the alliance to actually accept all of ukraine, because it is obvious that nato is the structure that doesn't g

our security alliance is essential. it's at the foundation of our partnership, but it's not the only element that makes our relationship so consequential. we're also intensifying our economic partnership. since the free trade agreement was approved. bilateral trade has surged dramatically. over the last two years alone, korean companies invested more than $100 billion in the united states, driving innovation, creating good jobs, for americans and korean workers alike. in bay city, michigan, at filtron, facility that makes semiconductors, we drive greater growth for our countries. and in georgia, thanks to the inflation reduction act, setting up a $2.5 billion plant to make solar panels that will support thousands of local jobs and the global transition to a green economy. investments like these in each other's countries and workers are critical for strengthening our supply chains and reducing our reliance on unreliable suppliers. we're working together to power inclusive, sustainable, shared economic growth across the e

korea alliance. the conversation was part of the center for strategic international forum on the relationship between the two countries.

ghetto up to be the alliance for the next 75 years.he meeting focused on critical steps to advance the revitalization that the summit will take place next year. first, we focused on nato's support and commitment to ukraine. i have to tell you listening to , all of our colleagues around the table, every single one expressed strong, enduring support for ukraine. some are questioning whether the united states and other nato allies should continue to stand with ukraine as we enter the second winter of putin's brutality. but the answer here at nato is clear and unwavering, we must and we will continue to support ukraine. ensuring that russia's war of aggression remains is a strategic failure is as vital today as when the kremlin launched that were almost two years ago. now, our adversaries are not standing on the sidelines. most of the drones we have seen used in the biggest ever drone attack on kyiv. those were made and supplied by iran. north korea is providing to russia. stakes for all of us are clear, and i heard this from everyone arou

-rok alliance, and other alliances. >> thanks. let me shift to something else you mentioned in your remarks. you talked about how the u.s. -- sorry, the dprk and russia are all in with each other now. and we were talking this morning about how just when we thought things couldn't get any worse with russia or north korea, they can, because the two of them can start working together, cooperating not just on arms but also potentially other sorts of technologies that might be helpful to north korea. i guess the question i have, and you played this instrumental role in the otto warmbier's act and in particular from the perspective of experts like us was important about that legislation was a focus on secondary sanctioning. and so i guess the question is how to look at what is happening between dprk and russia? what are your thoughts about, and you can't obvious talk about what your thoughts about legislation, what can be done to sort of deal with this new challenge? >> well, , we have a hearing on october 1 in my subcommittee where i'm

the resistance alliance was established based on the idea of resisting israeli occupation and refusal of the hegemony of america and the west. whoever observes the countries of this alliance and the resistance movements can see that they hold this viewpoint. this means that we are on the same course with one vision. however, there aren't central meetings. where the members or representatives of the alliance mate and plan and decide what steps to take, no, but when certain events occur or that there are issues of significance, there is coordination, sometimes the coordination is bilateral or between a bigger group, depending on the actual events on the ground, we are not an alliance in a formal organization, but we are a front based on practical performance, the islamic republic of iran is at the head of this alliance, since it is the main and first and biggest supporter of all this alliance on all levels. without exceptions, and it is a true bacca even at the level of culture and religion. when we talk about an alliance of a resistance lead by the islamic republic of iran, we are not

we can see that the unity of resistance alliance, and when the secretary general met with mr.t and sheikh saleh, and they are leaders of palestinian resistance. this meeting was not formal, it was an expression of the unity in the process of resistance despite any details or ideological differences or issues of faith, how different it is, or whether there are slight differences, we don't take these issues into consideration when we look at the work of a resistance. in other words, through resistance, we can reach a state where we are united as one, even if we differ on some cultural. the resistance is a practical struggle facing the occupation and this requires from us to be in this together. is the resistance alliance in the region which is growing really united against the common enemy? i mean what is how do you look at the role of the islamic republic of iran, yemen and iraq. alliance was established based on the idea of resisting israeli occupation and refusal of the hegemony of america and the west. whoever observes the countries of this alliance and the resistance moveme

if any branch or faction in the resistance alliance is victorious. this means that all the resistance in the region has been victorious. question is, what do we do the next day? we began to discuss the steps that we need to take the next day, and this gave birth to this corporation and this intervention by hazbullah, to give victory to al-aqsa on the path of palestine. therefore, hazbullah's participation in this battle is part and parcel of the operation of the resistance and defense in its second phase, since the first phase ended with this great achievement. and we are witnessing second phase which is defined by deterring an israeli aggression against civilians and buildings and hospitals, and this phase requires joint efforts in order to put a stop to this is israeli regime. when operation al-aqsa exposes this great weakness, this means that the theory that it is weaker than a spider's web is correct, and this means that if the whole world didn't come to support it and stand by its side, namely the us, europe and some arrogant powers, it would no

we have an alliance, we have a resistance alliance. this resistance alliance helps us with... with opinions, with advice, helps with capabilities, with training, development and so on, everyone agrees that there are two camps today, our camp was strongly strengthened on october 7th, and the zinanis camp receives its orders from the american administration and from the french and british administrations. we will come back to this doctor, we'll talk about these countries that you mentioned now and the positions of the arab or islamic. countries regarding the developments in palestine, you told us about advanced weapons, how yemenis were capable of developing these advanced weapons which are not hitting israeli targets, giving the situation that yemen is experiencing from years of war and sanctions من سنوات حربر و وضع صعب. we were under sanctions for nine years and the news was tight on us in all economic, scientific and cultural. did not stop, we did not stop developing the internal military machine, i said and i repeat, the alliance is

, but let's read carefully what the former secretary general of the alliance proposed, because the first example that comes to mind is the example of germany, a divided germany, which part of it first entered the alliance, and then there was the reunification of germany and as a result... its other part, which until that time was supposedly a separate state, but under the direct influence of the soviet union, was part of the so-called warsaw bloc, and it joined, joined the alliance, respectively as a part of germany, already united germany. we do not have exactly the same history and this analogy is not quite direct, but , as i understand what mr. rasmussen proposed, and joining the alliance, the issue of extending the fifth article to one or another part of the generally recognized ukrainian territory, this is what rasmussen proposed today, well, i also analyzed the proposal of our other colleagues, well, a large number of american, and former, and well, former diplomats, military, analysts who are not so long ago... regarding the need to invite ukraine to the alliance at the same washi

just now the secretary general of the alliance is holding a press conference, we are watching live. they confirmed their steadfast support, as ukrainians bravely defend their own. country, only in recent days we have seen new ones important messages. germany has pledged an additional 8 billion euros for next year, and the netherlands has pledged more than 2 billion. romania opened an f-16 training center for ukrainian pilots. member countries, including the us and finland, send more pppo and ammunition, and 20 nato member countries have created. pppo coalition for ukraine. all this helps to save the lives of ukrainians and sends a signal to russia that our support will not waver. we also looked at the challenges that china poses to euro-atlantic security. china is not ours opponent i welcome the fact that nato members are engaging in a dialogue with beijing on issues of mutual importance, and at the same time we must clearly... the impact of china's coercive policy on our security. nato will remain a regional alliance of europe and north america, but the challenges we face are globa

if any branch or faction in the resistance alliance is victorious, this means that all the resistance in the region has been victorious. the question is, what do we do the next day? we began to discuss the steps that we need to take the next day, and this gave birth to this corporation and this intervention by hazballah to give victory to al-aqsa on the path of palestine. therefore hazbullah's participation in this battle is part and parcel of the operation of the resistance and defense in its second phase, since the first phase ended with this great achievement. and we are witnessing second phase which is defined by deterring an israeli aggression against civilians and buildings and hospitals, and this phase requires joint efforts in order to put a stop. to this israeli regime. when operation exposes this great weakness, this means that the theory that it is weaker than a spider's web is correct, and this means that if the whole world didn't come to support it and stand by its side, namely the us, europe and some arrogant powers, it would not have been capable of remaining and could

we have an alliance, we have a resistance alliance. this resistance alliance helps. with opinions, with advice, helps with capabilities, with training, development and so on. everyone agrees that there are two camps today. our camp was strongly strengthened on october 7th, and the zinis camp receives its orders from the american administration and from the french and british administrations. we will come back to this doctor. we'll talk about these countries that you mentioned now and the positions of the arab or islam. countries regarding the developments in palestine, you told us about advanced weapons, how yemenis were capable of developing these advanced weapons, which are not hitting israeli targets, giving the situation that yemen is experiencing from years of war and sanctions. we were under sanctions for nine years and the news was tight on us in all economic, scientific and did not stop, we did not stop developing the internal military machine, i said and repeat, the alliance is the one that provides us with the belief, provide

supporter of all this alliance. when we talk about an alliance of a resistance led by the islamic republic of iran, we are not talking about formality, we are talking about content. this is why we see that every resistance movement or government has its exceptional and specific traits and its own detail concerns which do not concern the other groups. the leader of the revolution sayid in his latest speech said and he called on the arab and muslim world to boycott the regime and to uh immediate hal to the bombings in gaza. do you think that this uh it's the litmus test for the islamic world and islamic countries to walk the talk? when imam komaini god protect him speaks of the need to stop the aggression and boycot this regime. and to take all measures to support palestine, he is expressing the humane and legitimate and ethical position and he is expressing what the islamic republic is doing. deputy secretary general of hazbullah. thank you very much for joining us today on this edition of face to face. thank you everyone for joining us, stay tuned to press tv. goodbye for now. israels in t

commitment to this alliance is ironclad. in april, president biden welcome south korean president yoon for a visit in which the two leaders unveiled the washington declaration to reinforce extended deterrence and respond to north korea's growing nuclear threats. that same month, senator romney and i and our colleagues passed a bipartisan senate resolution to honor the 70th anniversary of our historic alliance, and president yoon also addressed a joint session of congress. in august, president biden posted a historic summit, and deepened our trilateral cooperation to bring greater peace, prosperity, and security to the indo pacific region. i support the efforts of these leaders to heal old wounds, look for the future, and address shared challenges. this trilateral partnership will help to counter the trilateral threat in north korea, to share data on north korean missile launches the end of this year. i also commend the strong later -- language issued in response to the p.r.c. aggression in the south china sea. this is an his

jen stoldenberg called sweden's full membership in the alliance the best christmas present for this year. what is the delay and how does it affect the issue of ukraine's membership? well, actually, this first of all shows how political is also the process of the country's accession to nato, to alliance, because when finland and sweden were invited to join nato last year, and when secretary general jens stoltenberg then said that he would make every effort to have sweden and finland join nato as soon as possible, everyone said as much as those countries were ready, militarily, economically, they were compatible in many ways with the allies, then no one could have predicted that among the members of the alliance... there would be two countries, turkey and sweden, which would delay this issue, in fact, for almost a year, that is, the majority countries approved ratified the accession of both sweden and finland last year. in fact, we see how the governments of certain countries, in this case, primarily turkey, tried to take advantage of this situation to get their way in certain issues, that

it says that makes this kind of alliance very high scripts to sustain. now the trigger for this friday, at least the most recent incident, was the fact the military ignore the results of an election. any object did the democratically elected legislature. to what extent, though, would it be accurate at this point to describe this as a pro democratic rebellion? well, i think we looked at the leadership and how much does just misty and support the energy have on the local level. i think you can definitely say that there is a very strong pro democracy elements to this movement and i think to try and deny that would be some misunderstand what's happening to me on my right now. but i think we need to be honest about the context is occurring within the start to that a rebel groups because by some for independence and succession from m a for very long time. and so yes, it can be present the classic. but there is also a lot of succession is missing. 3rd involved in this and a plunkett. thank you so much for joining us. you. so that's it for the program. you can f

i will name here a number of specific decisions and proposals: first: i ask the alliance government,my of sciences, to propose a mechanism that will ensure access for domestic scientists to existing ones being created in russia. and a supercomputer. graduate students should receive special benefits for using the computing infrastructure. students, schoolchildren who are already engaged in scientific and practical activities in the field of artificial intelligence. second, i would like to draw the attention of the government and the alliance company, the current capacity of russian supercomputers should, of course, be increased by no less than an order of magnitude. this is critical for the further development of generative artificial intelligence. third: it is necessary to significantly expand the training of the strongest scientific developers. this task must be set before the leader of the first ranking of universities in terms of the quality of training of specialists in the field of artificial intelligence, these are the higher school of economics, moscow institute of physics and

in the alliance, consul jan stoltenberg agreed on recommendations for further reforms on ukraine 's pathver, the publication "facts", referring to diplomats who wished to remain unnamed, reports that the alliance still has not reached an agreement on whether to consider reforms from of the updated annual program with the conditions for ukraine's accession, or is it rather such a tool for tracking progress, because the case with sweden, which, by the way, at this meeting was hoped to be welcomed into the alliance, but the process is still on hold, once again proves that everything rests so whether it is political will or the lack of it, the allies say that there is this will, in particular for military aid to ukraine, we resolutely confirm our support for ukraine, as it continues to face russia's aggressive war, we are also waiting for the summit next year in washington to celebrate nato's 75th anniversary, but not just to mark the anniversary, but to continue moving the nato alliance forward. in particular, with the fulfillment of the obligations that its members assume regarding our col

japan is part of the coat alliance, created in 2007.uadripartite dialogue on security in the indo-pacific region. it is often called an anti-chinese military alliance and an asian nato. 2 years ago, in contrast to china, another military alliance, aokus, appeared in the region, uniting the usa, great britain and australia. american approaches to security. everything is fine on the atlantic ocean, there is the ussr, there is the usa. there is the warsaw pact, there is tak. that is , everything is so very clear, well, of course, there are some neutral countries that are neither here nor there, but still the model is quite well-built. in the pacific ocean there is the people's republic of china, mainland china , an adversary of the united states. but let’s say, since the turn of the fifties and sixties, china has not been an ally of the ussr, that is, here at all, but the main factor is also the non-alignment movement, that is, everything is very complicated here, that is, on the one hand there is the ussr and its, well, let’s say, ally, t

, as we see it, this is, naturally, the alliance analyzes the situation, the alliance sees , the realoned its plans to contain russia and what is called the slaughter of the ukrainian people as ritual victims in the fight against russia, we understand this very well, and we are building further its line of action precisely in accordance with this, with these realities, a special war... the operation continues.

if that means an alliance or joint ticket, that's all the better.end, they couldn't decide which man would be top of the ticket. that's where they are right now. he is running third in the polls right now and is saying he will continue to fight to the end as a candidate. the knt said it will continue to negotiate with the tpp until the deadline on friday. we are all on tenterhooks to see if they can form an alliance for the election on january 14. a key election for taiwan. shery: i can't imagine investors liking this uncertainty viewed what are we expecting from the market reaction? stephen: i can point to last week. all five days of last week, the taiex was up. the market gained about 3%. the taiwan dollar up against the u.s. dollar all five days last week as this alliance started taking form, which is now in disarray. the taiwan dollar gaining about 1.5% against the u.s. dollar, up every day, the taiex up every day. now it is in disarray. are we going to see some retreating of the taiex and taiwan dollar? we will have to see. it is something that

bulgarian foreign minister maria gabriel told reporters that ukraine could join the alliance only when had to justify herself for allowing sergei lavrov’s plane to fly over the airspace of bulgaria to north macedonia for the osce summit. it was decided to open the airspace for the russian delegation, which needs to arrive in skopje, because you you know how important this meeting is for conservation. bse. there are no persons under sanctions in the russian delegation. by the way , it became known that the ukrainian minister of foreign affairs kuleba will not go to this meeting, due to the fact that his russian colleague will be there. the boycott, which the baltic countries intend to join, is explained by their inability to influence the decision of their european colleagues. but today kuleba met with josep barell, the main collector of military aid for kiev. despite the fact that weapons depots are rapidly emptying and continue. paradoxical demands to give kiev more and more weapons. the german chancellor said in the bundestag that ukraine's support has existential significance for al

this is how the military alliance of the three powers took shape, called countries of hosea. document recorded the obligations of the parties to provide mutual political, economic and military assistance, and consolidated the aspirations of the participants. before the establishment of the so-called new order in europe and asia in the late thirties , two military clashes took place between the ussr and japan: on lake khasan in the thirty-eighth and on the khalkhengol river in manzhuria in the thirty-ninth. having suffered quite serious losses and making sure that the red army was actively resisting, japan in april 4th concluded a neutrality pact with the ussr. moscow believed that tokyo's neutrality could at any moment... germany non-aggression pact. therefore, throughout the war, the soviet union was forced to maintain an impressive military group in the far east. on december 7 , 1941, japanese aircraft and submarines attacked the american military base at pearl harbor on the hawaiian island of oahu. after the raid, it seemed that japan had achieved superiority at sea. tokyo

and as history shows, the emergence of an alliance in the balkans. always accompanied by grief, loss here's to the question of historical continuity. this year marks the 200th anniversary of the proclamation of one of washington's first geopolitical strategies, the so -called monroe doctrine. she remains one of the symbols of american neocolonialism. based on the belief in its own exclusivity, it ideologically justifies the right of the united states to establish its own a world order based on rules, imposing on other countries values ​​that are alien to them and not literally reducing them to the position of powerless satellites. as you know, on december 2, 1822, the fifth us president, james munro, in his annual message to congress called for preventing european powers from interfering in the affairs of the young states of the western hemisphere. in those specific historical conditions. the document appealed to pan-american solidarity, in particular, the young south american republics were called the southern brothers of the united states. well, everything seems to sound not bad. n

i want to thank you are partners in all of this and alliance my team for all they do to push back on that 2345i6r9 we have great stories to tell you want you guys to capture it mayor said 27 new stores that is nothing here we're making sure we hear about that let's talk about the all the great things we came over covered in and now for the holidays something for everyone here 2004 union square and looking at a lot of restaurants bars and hotel bars in the district and food, food chefs with betting on union square but in fact, we're right here in the square are tyler warren a celebrity chevy has two cafeterias in the park on the come back and which is above the old mason row imagine the latter restaurant in san francisco 0 more than 4 hundred and 50 needed e feet? really, really excited and i want to thank our staff and in blue as well as our ambassadors in orange and welcoming you excited to have i get in union square to enjoy the holidays it is started i see our partners here as well there is security around and especially police department and the ranches thank you so much and to 7

providing important benefits to each of the alliance partners, u.s. and japan and korea, trilateral operation, thing out of camp david, important private edifice if you will for parties in the alliance but not just that, important private benefits, we talk about cooperation among the three countries in everything from missile defense tracking to climate change to emerging technologies, that is providing public goods for the world, there's a lot more to this relationship than what they share among each other, that is beneficial to the world. >> professor, you focus a lot on economic issues, from your vantage point what is the highlight of the seemingly closer relationship between our three countries? >> i think as we discussed already in the previous session, trade issues are becoming security issues, and looking at the issue from a new perspective. everything starts from scratch. we are now trying to find an answer to many challenges, now korea and the united states are cooperating, it is the importance of the bilateral summit, and the trilateral summ

this is a, a really big frustration for the alliance. they had very much hope that at this foreign ministers meeting, they would be able to raise the sweetest flag and finally bring stock home in as a full member of the alliance. and that was made clear to turkey at the defense ministers meeting a month ago. that, you know, we really want this done by the foreign ministers meeting, but it didn't happen. so there were boats delayed and the turkish parliament, the foreign affairs committee needs to approve it. and then it goes back to the full plenary and then of course it goes to president air to one, and none of those things have happened yet. so it was, once again, i absolutely emphasize to turkey, that the time is up, that you need to bring sweden into the lines. and then of course, you have hungry, who simply says, we're not going to be the last ones. but you know, until turkey signals that it is really going to get this approval done, hungry doesn't have to move either. now, we were told that the turkish, the turkish foreign minister

and of course, any member of the alliance has the article 5 collective security guarantee. and so really, a lot of members of the alliance just cannot fathom importing award that they would then have to participate in. there are still some countries, though, the baltic states, in particular, who's saying you cream should be offered membership. this, this would help deter russia from more aggressive actions. so there is a debate inside the alliance, but secretary general stilton burke has made clear there will not be this coveted invitation coming already. next summer. ukraine fatigue has become somewhat of a buzz word. is there any sign in the lines that support for kids might be wavering? it is more than just a buzz where it is definitely a reality. but every time you ask leaders, and we do this frequently, whether they see it, they say that they don't. and, and many people were asked today at nato, including secretary dentist, oldenburg and us secretary of state as an a blinking then both of them say absolutely not. there's no ukraine fatigue. we see, you know, this contr

for his great personal contribution to strengthening the relations of strategic partnership and allianceetween the russian federation and the republic of tajikistan, as well as ensuring regional stability and security, the order of merit for the fatherland of the third degree was awarded to mma rahmon, the president of the republic. and tajikistan, dear vladimir vladimirovich, thank you for your decision to award me the order, before fatherland, i perceive this award as a high assessment of my russian relations, primarily to the merits of the entire people of tajikistan in the steady development of relations of strategic partnership and alliance with fraternal russia. we are committed to further test joint work on the comprehensive promotion of the entire range of interaction between ours. countries, thank you again, dear vladimirovich, for your high appreciation of the attention to my frontliness, thank you, congratulations, dear ladies and gentlemen, the document exchange ceremony begins signed within the framework of the official visit of the president of the republic of tajikistan em

ukraine would become a member of the alliance even before the end of the war. the majority of ukrainians support you and we believe that we are already worthy of being a member of the north atlantic alliance. what, in your opinion , prevents nato from making such a decision and a fateful decision not only for ukraine, but for the whole world? i think the leaders of nato. are struggling with this decision because they are worried, about themselves, and about escalation, but unfortunately, by taking this position, they are only... putin to continue the war. i think that's what we should do on the contrary we have to send a signal to putin that we will not be stopped, we will not be restrained, and the fact that he will continue the war makes no sense. therefore , i call for ukraine to be accepted into nato while the war continues. do nato, mr. volker, and the western countries currently have a common vision of what ukraine's victory over russia is, and what russia's defeat in the war with ukraine is. well, first of all, russia's victory over ukraine, i don't thin
