Abstract

The article focuses on North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s recent efforts to strengthen military capabilities and diplomatic ties, particularly with China and Russia, amid ongoing missile tests and preparations ahead of a potential U.S.-North Korea summit. North Korea has resumed rail and air links with China and hosted China’s top diplomat for the first time in six years, signaling warming relations alongside its alliance with Russia, which includes military support in the Ukraine conflict. Drawing on battlefield lessons from Ukraine, North Korea is modernizing its military with advanced technologies such as drone intelligence and electronic warfare. These developments coincide with U.S. President Donald Trump’s planned visit to China, during which discussions about North Korea’s nuclear status and potential dialogue may occur.
