Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un have signed a comprehensive strategic partnership pact during Putin’s landmark visit to Pyongyang.
A new treaty signed between North Korea and Russia provides for “mutual assistance” in case either country faces aggression, Putin said Wednesday following talks in Pyongyang.
“The comprehensive partnership treaty signed today provides, among other things, for mutual assistance in case of aggression against one of the parties to this treaty,” Putin was quoted as saying by Russian news agencies.
Putin and Kim concluded one-on-one talks that lasted about two hours.
Kim told Putin that North Korea intends to further improve its strategic cooperation with Russia, and that Pyongyang will also unconditionally support all of Russia’s policies.
He also asserted that North Korea fully supports Russia’s war in Ukraine
President Putin:
– The agreement provides for the provision of mutual assistance in the event of aggression against one of the participants
– Moscow does not exclude the possibility of military-technical cooperation with Pyongyang
– Russia and the DPRK are pursuing an independent foreign policy and will not bend to blackmail
– The countries oppose the use of sanctions as a tool for the West to maintain its hegemony
– The UN Security Council sanctions regime against the DPRK enacted by the US should be reviewed
Kim Jong-un:
– The agreement between Russia and the DPRK is peaceful and defensive in nature and accelerates the creation of a new multipolar world order
– It involves the development of cooperation between the countries, including in military affairs
– For Pyongyang, Moscow is the most honest friend and ally, and President Putin is a dear friend to the Korean people
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un presented Russian President Vladimir Putin with two pungsan dogs. This is an autochthonous breed from North Korea, which is not well known outside of that country.
