A press statement on strategic dialogue between Choe Son Hui, foreign minister of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and Sergei Viktorovich Lavrov, foreign minister of the Russian Federation, was issued on November 1.

The press statement says:

The relations between the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the Russian Federation are growing stronger at a new strategic level in the spirit of the DPRK-Russia treaty on comprehensive strategic partnership concluded at the historic DPRK-Russia Pyongyang summit in June 2024. Against this backdrop, a strategic dialogue took place between Choe Son Hui, foreign minister of the DPRK, and Sergei Viktorovich Lavrov, foreign minister of the Russian Federation, in Moscow on November 1.

Prior to the strategic dialogue, the two foreign ministers attended a ceremony held at Yaroslavl Railway Station to unveil the tablet to honour the first visit of Comrade Kim Il Sung, premier of the DPRK Cabinet, to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in March 1949.

At the strategic dialogue, there was an in-depth exchange of views on the practical issues for development of the bilateral relations, with the emphasis put on implementing the agreements reached at the DPRK-Russia summit meeting during the DPRK visit of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, president of the Russian Federation, in June.

Both sides reaffirmed their firm will to correctly implement the provisions of the treaty on comprehensive strategic partnership which put the traditional DPRK-Russia friendly relations qualitatively on a new level.

The exchange of views on major international issues confirmed that the two sides are unanimous in their assessment of the present international situation.

The two sides expressed the common understanding that the root cause of ever-escalating tensions in the Korean peninsula, Northeast Asia and other parts of the world lies in the provocations of the US and its vassal countries.

The Russian side expressed full support for the measures taken by the DPRK leadership to deter the US and its allies from pursuing the policy of aggression and to ensure regional peace and stability.

The strategic dialogue marked an important occasion substantially contributing to comprehensively expanding and developing the bilateral relations in conformity with the comprehensive strategic partnership between the DPRK and the Russian Federation.

The foreign ministers of the DPRK and Russia agreed to hold more dialogues between external policy organs of the two countries at different levels, including the ministerial strategic dialogue.
