On June 19, 2024, after a 24-year gap, Russian President Putin visited Pyongyang and signed a 'Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement' with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, strengthening bilateral economic and military cooperation while displaying a united stance against the US-led Western countries. Thousands of North Korean citizens welcomed Putin, including children waving flowers and flags. The agreement includes mutual defense clauses and expands military, economic, and other cooperation, raising concerns about deepening relations between Russia and North Korea and potentially complicating the global situation. Putin's next stop is Hanoi, Vietnam, highlighting Russia's active efforts to seek support and cooperation from socialist countries like North Korea and Vietnam amidst Western sanctions.
