The immortal exploits the great leader Comrade Kim Jong Il accomplished for strengthening and developing the friendship between the DPRK and Russia are now being brilliantly inherited and developed by respected Comrade Kim Jong Un .
The historic meeting between Comrade Kim Jong Un , President of the State Affairs of the DPRK, and Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, President of the Russian Federation, that took place in Vladivostok in April 2019, was a momentous occasion in reaffirming the unwavering current of the history of the strategic and traditional DPRK-Russia relations and further strengthening the ties of friendship between the two countries.
