“The Russian Federation expresses its solidarity and full support in the desire of the DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea], led by Chairman of the State Council Kim Jong Un, to defend its independence and the right of its people to determine their own destiny,” Lavrov said during his visit to North Korea.
Moscow values Pyongyang’s support of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine, Lavrov added.
The foreign minister also said that his visit provides a “good opportunity” to review in detail latest agreements that were reached at the highest level.
