Pyongyang, May 18 (KCNA) -- Choe Son Hui, foreign minister of the DPRK, on May 16 sent a congratulatory message to Sergei Viktorovich Lavrov upon his reappointment as foreign minister of the Russian Federation.

The message said that he has achieved remarkable successes by energetically conducting external political activities to defend the sovereign rights of Russia, ensure its territorial integrity and enhance its international position for a long period of assuming a heavy responsibility as foreign minister.
