They can’t imagine it: the IAEA is convinced that Russia will not transfer nuclear technology to Kim Jong-in

< /p>IAEA does not believe in violation of agreements by Russia/Collage 24 Channel

The head of the IAEA is convinced that Russia will not trade nuclear weapons technology with North Korea. He does not believe that a nuclear state will violate agreements and transfer information to a “country outside the regime.”

The other day, Vladimir Putin met with the head of the DPRK, Kim Jong-in. The main theme of the two dictators was probably the supply of weapons to Russia. North Korea, in turn, could ask to transfer modern technologies to it.

IAEA wants to cooperate with the DPRK

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Mariano Grossi, is confident that Russia is aware of its obligations as a permanent member of the UN Security Council and a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. The IAEA claims that it is unlikely that Putin will transfer nuclear weapons technology to the DPRK.

I cannot imagine that countries will participate in trade or exchange (of nuclear weapons technology – Channel 24 ) with a country that has such problematic relations with the nonproliferation regime as the DPRK,” Grossi said.

The head hopes that Russia's compliance with nuclear weapons agreements will continue. Rafael Grossi is convinced that Russia can “help” North Korea reach an agreement with the IAEA or create “confidence-building paths” with other countries.

We are available, we are interested, and we want “, of course, so that North Korea cooperates with us,” said the head of the IAEA.

However, the structure did not discuss with the DPRK the return of IAEA inspectors, who were expelled back in 2009. Rafael Grossi added that there are now “very disturbing elements” of activity at the nuclear test site. Currently, the tests are under no one's supervisory control.

Putin's meeting with Kim Jong-in

• The head of North Korea arrived in Russia on an armored train on September 12th. The Russian army is experiencing significant problems with ammunition, which forced Putin to ask for help from the DPRK. This should have been the unofficial, but main reason for Kim Jong-in's visit.
• North Korea will probably transfer weapons to Russia, but is unlikely to be able to provide the amount of assistance it needs. Kim Jong-un has his own interests in cooperation and, most likely, asked Russia for their advanced technologies.
• Putin tried in every possible way to please the “last hope” and even gives the head of the DPRK excursions. During his visit to Russia, Kim Jong-un, in particular, visited a fighter aircraft production plant. He was even shown a demonstration flight of the Su-35 multirole fighter. Against this background, the head of the DPRK was added to the Peacemaker database.
