Kim says ties with Russia, N. Korea are unbreakable
(MENAFN) North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has praised the close ties between Pyongyang and Moscow, describing their friendship as “immortal,” according to reports from state media.
In a message published by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on Tuesday, Kim extended birthday wishes to 73-year-old Russian President Vladimir Putin and commended his “wise leadership” and “patriotic devotion.” He added that Russia is “demonstrating its glory as a world power” and “taking the lead in establishing a new, multi-polarized world.”
Kim reaffirmed Pyongyang’s commitment to the inter-state treaty between the DPRK and Russia, calling it a “fraternal duty,” and expressed support for Russia’s “just struggle for defending national sovereignty, territorial integrity and security interests.”
“Pyongyang and Moscow will always stand together and our friendship will be immortal,” he stated.
In June 2024, the two countries signed a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty, which includes a mutual defense clause. The agreement stipulates that if either nation faces an “armed invasion,” the other will provide military and other assistance “without delay.”
Reports also indicate that North Korean soldiers have fought alongside Russian forces in Kursk Region, helping to repel a large-scale Ukrainian incursion, with Putin commending Pyongyang’s role in the “joint fight against modern neo-Nazism.”
