NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said in a lecture in Seoul on the 30th that there is an "urgent need" for ammunition support for the war in Ukraine.
 "The reality is that they (Ukrainians) need arms if they do not want autocracy and tyranny to triumph," he said.

NATO Secretary-General met with Foreign Minister Jin Park, followed by a lecture at the Choi Jong-hyun Academy, saying, “Countries such as Germany, Sweden, and Norway had similar policies, but they have changed them.” He called for a policy change, directly linking it directly to the change in arms support policies of European countries.
"North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Secretary-General said on the 29th, "North Korea is providing military support to Russia, such as rockets and missiles," and "This highlights how we (South Korea and NATO) are interconnected."
Regarding the meeting between Secretary-General Stoltenberg and Foreign Minister Park on the 29th, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Korea announced, “Minister Park will explain the 'Indo-Pacific Strategy' launched by Korea in December of last year and cooperate with NATO and other organizations for regional peace and prosperity. ” said the remark.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announcement came from Secretary General Stoltenberg to Minister Park, saying, "The war in Ukraine is affecting your region as well. In a world of heightened unpredictability and uncertainty, solidarity among countries that believe in freedom, democracy and a rules-based international order is all the more important." It's happening," he said.
Reuters reported from Seoul on the same day, "Nato Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg urged South Korea on Monday to increase military aid to Ukraine, citing other countries that have changed their policy of not providing weapons to countries in conflict after the Russian invasion." “Stollenberg is in Seoul, the first stop on a trip that includes Japan, and aims to strengthen ties with US allies in the face of war in Ukraine and growing competition from China,” it reported.
Regarding the bilateral meeting, Yomiuri said, “The two leaders also discussed North Korea’s nuclear and missile issues. Secretary-General Stoltenberg said he supported the South Korean government's efforts to completely denuclearize North Korea. ” reported.
North Korea's Central News Agency called Stoltenberg's visit "a prelude to confrontation and war, bringing dark clouds of a 'new cold war' over the Asia-Pacific region" in a North Korean statement.
South Korea opened its first diplomatic mission to NATO last year and announced that it would deepen cooperation in non-proliferation, cyber defense, counter-terrorism, disaster response and other security areas.
