(ANSA-AFP) - SEOUL, JAN 30 - NATO Secretary General Jens
Stoltenberg asked South Korea on Monday to "step up" military
support for Ukraine, suggesting it reconsider its policy of not
exporting weapons to countries in conflict. Stoltenberg is in
Seoul on the first leg of his Asia trip, which will also take in
Japan, as part of a drive to boost ties with the region's
democratic allies in the face of the Ukraine conflict and
growing competition from China. He met top South Korean
officials Sunday, and on Monday urged Seoul to do more to help
Kyiv, saying there was an "urgent need for more ammunition". He
pointed to countries like Germany and Norway that had
"long-standing policies not to export weapons to countries in
conflict" which they revised after Russian President Vladimir
Putin invaded Ukraine in February last year. (ANSA-AFP).
