Kim emphasizes enhancing ties with Moscow

North Korean Leader Enhances Ties with Russia

Kim Jong-un recently welcomed Sergey Shoigu, the secretary of Russia’s Security Council, to Pyongyang as the two officials discussed further strengthening the bond between their countries. This meeting follows Russian President Vladimir Putin’s historic state visit to North Korea earlier this year, where they signed a Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.

Notably, both Russia and North Korea agreed to support each other in the event of foreign aggression, especially as Western nations continue to provide advanced weaponry to other regions. The discussions between Shoigu and Kim centered on deepening strategic dialogue and enhancing cooperation to secure mutual security interests.

Kim expressed his desire to expand collaboration with Russia in various areas, including politics, economy, and culture, in line with the spirit of the strategic partnership treaty. Looking to the future, he extended his well wishes to President Putin and the Russian people.

With ongoing military exchanges between North Korea and Russia, both nations aim to contribute to global peace and international justice. The amicable atmosphere during the recent talks further solidified the positive direction set by Putin and Kim earlier this year.
