Reported 8 months ago
Russian President Putin visited Pyongyang after 24 years to hold one-on-one talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, resulting in the signing of a new 'Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement'. Despite North Korea's economic difficulties, Kim hosted a grand welcome ceremony for Putin and expressed 'full support' for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The leaders' last meeting was 9 months ago in Russia's Far Eastern region of Amur Oblast. While Putin's delay in arrival is a trademark, the two countries are seen to have a 'marriage of convenience' due to Western isolation. The visit symbolizes a shift in Russia and North Korea's relationship, with promises of military, economic, and cultural cooperation for a 'deep relationship'.
