Threats posed by North Korea occupy the top two spots on a list of security risks in Northeast Asia this year, according to a survey of foreign policy and security experts from Japan, the United States, China and South Korea, conducted by Tokyo-based research institute The Genron NPO.
The institute on Wednesday released its annual survey results for this year, "Top 10 risks that threaten peace in Northeast Asia 2023."
"North Korea's missile launches and other provocative military actions" was chosen as the No. 1 security risk, while "North Korea as a nuclear power" was chosen as No. 2.
