◇Anchor> You said it seems to refer to the UN agency, but it is known that an investigation into North Korea's manipulation of drone penetration has now begun. Can we get an accurate result?

◆Hongmin> It will probably take a considerable amount of time if the investigation proceeds. I don't think this is a concept that comes to a conclusion quickly in a short period of time. This is because if the drone was actually sent and sent, the route and by whom have not yet been identified or revealed, so it seems that technical verification processes are needed for a considerable period of time to investigate these parts at the UN agency level.

Therefore, it seems that the parts used for political purposes in a way that results in a short period of time will be approached as carefully as possible. Perhaps if the actual drone crosses from the South Korean side and spreads something in the form of an operation to the North, it will be a serious violation of the armistice agreement, so there will probably be some kind of action after the UN investigation.

◇Anchor> The Russian Foreign Ministry has also said that the drone incident is a violation of North Korea's sovereignty and interference in domestic affairs. I also mentioned the comprehensive strategic relationship I signed before this, so what intention should I see Russia's move?

◆Hongmin> As you all know, North Korea and Russia have been making diplomatic support and sympathizing with each other on some major pending issues as they have become diplomatically close and accelerated military cooperation. In particular, when it comes to Russia's war in Ukraine, North Korea has made quite a few offensives against the United States and NATO in the form of diplomatic remarks. On the other hand, Russia is also showing some kind of sympathy with the current issue, especially with regard to the current issue of drone invasion, by expressing diplomatic support from North Korea's point of view or from North Korea's point of view. Perhaps the part related to the Comprehensive Partnership Agreement is soon to be approved and ratified by North Korea, so Russia seems to have visualized these treaty agreements at a similar time and timing in line with this.
