Russia ends guarantee to North Korea By Christopher Lockwood, Diplomatic Editor [North] Korean Central News Agency Latest news - Itar-Tass [subscription required] RUSSIA yesterday ended its Cold War-era military guarantee to North Korea. The two countries signed a new "friendship treaty", which omitted all reference to military support in a future conflict. The move was described as highly significant by South Korean officials and is likely further to increase the isolation of the world's last Stalinist regime. North Korea now has the military backing only of China. It received substantial assistance from Moscow during the 1950-3 war. The document pledges "to strengthen friendship and increase co-operation", but says that this should not "infringe on their new relationships with other countries". This amounts to a recognition of the fact that, since 1990, Russia has had full diplomatic relations with South Korea. **COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.
