French President Emmanuel Macron urged China to prevent its ally North Korea from joining Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.

“If China doesn’t want NATO being involved in Southeast Asia or in Asia, they should prevent North Korea from engaging on European soil,” Macron said in a keynote address at the annual Shangri-la defense summit in Singapore.
