북·중, 7번 회담중 군사협력 첫 언급…‘비핵화’는 수면밑 잠복

North Korea and China have mentioned military cooperation for the first time during their seventh high-level meeting. This marks a significant shift in their discussions, as previous talks have not publicly included this aspect. The topic of denuclearization, a key issue in past dialogues, was notably absent from public statements, suggesting it has been relegated to the background for now. The focus on military collaboration indicates a deepening of ties between the two neighboring nations.

This development signals a potential shift in regional security dynamics and the priorities of North Korea-China relations.
