North Korea's nuclear and missile programs have cast a long shadow over the security of East Asia. China has historically played a critical role in providing economic support and diplomatic cover to North Korea, while Russia has maintained closer military ties.

Both China and Russia have sought to strengthen their ties with Mongolia, while Mongolia has carefully navigated its relationships to maintain its independence and sovereignty.
