PYONGYANG (Sputnik) - Ratification of the comprehensive strategic partnership treaty between Russia and North Korea confirms the two countries' interest in the comprehensive development of allied relations, Russian Defense Minister Andrey Belousov said.
"Ratification of the comprehensive strategic partnership treaty between our countries confirms the bilateral interest in the comprehensive development of allied relations. We are grateful for the commitment to the course of deepening ties with Russia," Belousov said during talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Pyongyang.
He said North Korea is one of the few countries to pursue an independent foreign policy.
"Of course, Comrade Kim Jong Un, this is exclusively your merit," the Russian defense minister told Kim.
He conveyed to the North Korean leader greetings and best wishes from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
