Russian President Putin made his first visit to North Korea in 24 years, signing a 'Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty' with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. The treaty includes a mutual defense clause that promises assistance to each other in repelling external aggression. This move is seen as a direct challenge towards Western countries, particularly the United States, as Putin highlighted their support for Ukraine to use Western weapons to attack Russia. The strengthened ties between Russia and North Korea, amidst their international isolation, are speculated to surpass even their relationship with China, with Kim Jong-un reportedly expressing desires for advanced fighter jets, missiles, satellite technology, labor deployment to Russia, and significant income creation from the partnership.
