The fourth article of the treaty states that if one of the parties is subjected to an armed attack by another state or several states and is put into a state of war, the other parties will provide military and other support.
According to Article 8, Russia and North Korea shall establish a mechanism for joint action to strengthen defense capabilities to prevent war and ensure regional and international peace and security.
