Rio de Janeiro: The leaders of South Korea and four other middle-power countries called Monday for all U.N. members to comply with the U.N. Charter and Security Council resolutions, as concerns deepened over North Korea's troop dispatch to help Russia in its war against Ukraine. According to Yonhap News Agency, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese met on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit held in Rio de Janeiro. The leaders of the MIKTA group, named after the initials of Mexico, Indonesia, South Korea, Turkey, and Australia, issued a joint statement underscoring their commitment to enhance cooperation to tackle regional and global challenges. The joint statement emphasized the MIKTA leaders' dedication to fostering a safe, peaceful, just, equal, inclusive, sustainable, and prosperous world. They urged all U.N. Member States to adhere to the United Nations Charter and U.N. Resolutions, including those adopted by the Security Council. This appeal comes at a time of multiple crises and geopolitical confrontations, highlighting the need for international cooperation and adherence to established international laws. While South Korea and Australia have explicitly condemned military ties between Pyongyang and Moscow as violations of the U.N. Charter and Security Council resolutions, the MIKTA group refrained from addressing specific instances in detail. The leaders focused on the broader call for adherence to international norms and frameworks, emphasizing the importance of maintaining global peace and security.
