North Korea's Kim Voices Full Support for Russia
Kim also voiced full support for Moscow’s domestic and foreign policies, as North Korea and Russia deepen ties after a 2024 strategic partnership treaty.
- On Friday, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un sent a congratulatory message to Russian President Vladimir Putin for Russia's National Day, voicing full support for Moscow's domestic and foreign policies, state media KCNA reported.
- The message follows the "comprehensive strategic partnership" treaty signed by Kim and Putin in June 2024, which effectively revived their Cold War-era military alliance and deepened bilateral cooperation.
- Pyongyang deployed around 15,000 combat troops to support Russia's war in Ukraine, while officials in Washington and Seoul accused the North of supplying military materials—accusations both nations denied.
- Russian and North Korean officials visited a monument for fallen Soviet Army fighters to mark the holiday, while Russia's embassy in Pyongyang hosted a reception for senior North Korean officials, KCNA said.
- A new land bridge linking the two nations is scheduled for completion on June 19, potentially facilitating trade and providing North Korea additional means to circumvent international sanctions, analysts say.
