At the turn of the new century, the great leader Comrade Kim Jong Il visited the Russian Federation three times and opened up a sure prospect for consolidating and developing the DPRK-Russia relations of friendship and cooperation in conformity with the desires and fundamental interests of the two peoples.
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.
It is the invariable stand of the DPRK to exert all efforts to incessantly expand and develop the DRPK-Russia relations of friendship and cooperation in accordance with the spirit of the DPRK-Russia Joint Declaration and the demands of the new era and to ensure regional peace and security. The future of the DPRK-Russia relations, which steadily advances towards a new higher stage of development with roots in its valuable tradition, is bright and promising.
