Perhaps more than any other country involved in the Six-Party Talks – China included – Russia must take a balanced approach to the two Koreas, a panel of Russian experts told NK News.

Because of this, they said, neither the North nor the South took Russia’s position seriously during the tumult of the 1990s.
