Putin Commends North Korea's Full-Fledged Support for Russian Policy
As a result of Kim's visit to Russia in 2023, the two sides made "significant progress" in bolstering bilateral relations, the Russian president said.
"A new fundamental document was prepared today, something that will form the basis of the long-term relationship between Moscow and Pyongyang," Putin pointed out.
Russia appreciates North Korea's consistent and unwavering support for Russian policy, including in connection with
the Ukraine crisis, Putin stressed.
"Interaction between our countries is based on the principles of equality [and] mutual respect for each other's interests," he said.
Both Moscow and Pyongyang are fighting against the "hegemonic and imperialist policies of the US and its satellite states," he added.
Pyongyang's transformation since my [Putin's] last visit to the city in 2000 is impressive and noticeable, the Russian leader said.
"I am very happy about our new meeting. I hope that the next one will be held in Russia, in Moscow," Putin said.
Kim: North Korea Backs Russian Special Op
"The government of North Korea appreciates the important mission and role of strong Russia in maintaining strategic stability and balance in the world," Kim, for his part, stated.
Pyongyang expresses "full support and solidarity with the Russian government, army and people in carrying out the special military operation in Ukraine to protect the sovereignty, security interests and territorial integrity," the North Korean leader said.
"The situation in the world is becoming more complicated and it is changing rapidly," Kim pointed out.
