in south korea -- the south korean people. in south korea, the government helped resettlement of north korean escapee, it's incredibly well wrenched. but i want to emphasize the change in north korea should be made by north koreans. no one can, you know, help them or change north korean society on behalf of us. so we should be ready for the change. we should be ready for the people's freedom. so the u.s. supports and the people supports should be for educating the young leadership and the peoples, the talents and leadership talks for the change. so just, you know, helping them and educating them, it takes time. but we want to be more leaders, young leaders, who have passion for north korea. that's my advice. >> i really appreciate that, our voices can be heard more widely. because, for example, many of the unification, those kind of ideas and then the agendas are overly represent the mission of the south korean people, but we have to also listen to the north korean people, what do they think about reunification? what do they r

, north korea, this is essentially the lpr, the dpr on the korean peninsula, to be honest, this is theislamic republic of iran, but look. uh, iranians, even half of iranians don't go to the polls, and those who do, the majority of them vote for a person who favors better relations with the united states america, this says something, about the mood in society, this is the second such country, it is, say, myanmar, but it cannot host russian weapons, but it is ready to cooperate with russia there, and that's all, all the others countries that have good relations with russia, they can. to perform some acrobatic figures there, like the countries of central asia, for example, and belarus, of course, we forgot about belarus, well, in belarus they have already placed nuclear weapons and iskander installations, so that’s all, but i i don't understand why you are so worried about it in terms of placement, don't forget that russia is very big, the united states places its weapons in allied countries on other continents, because they themselves are in north america, in north america. and in order

north korea. north korea has provided huge amounts of shells, and will continue to provide shells and weapons for this illegal war to russia. and it's not free, of course it happens. we are very concerned about the potential aid through the missile program , aid to russia, to korea. rocket programs, it is a threat not only to south korea, but also to regional stability. security is no longer regional, it is global , north korea helping russia in ukraine is one example of that, and for all these reasons we welcome the deepening of the partnership between nato and the republic of korea. and i appreciate it. the fact that we had the opportunity to meet with the president of south korea today, we will continue to intensify this cooperation. thank you very much mr. secretary general, i am very sorry, but this is the last question, thank you very much. there are discounts that represent the only discounts on doloxen strong 10% in pharmacies psylansky, pam and oskad. in the latest issue of ukraine magazi

and part of that with south korea with i'll stay. ready with japan and yes with the philippines as well. but as i said earlier, that momentum is certainly now starting to move into difficult, so rain like no logical sharing cyber security information and intelligence sharing into operability. so darn a whole host of, of, of alliance management and issues that are far from being resolved. but the momentum is heading that way. the challenge for me is not on the line side, cuz i think it's going very well for now. but whether or not the non part or the non alliance part of the security partnership with countries like single floor indonesia, vietnam, and others can build and have that same momentum. that's the part that i haven't really seen. it seems as if washington is basically saying, the train is moving, you either jump on or hop off, but we're moving ahead with our alliances in the future. so i do think this is creating a sense of uncertainty and concern among the rest of the reach and outside of us alliance. all right, well we hav
