Ri Hi Yong, member of the Political Bureau and secretary of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea and chairman of the Central Inspection Commission of the WPK, on a visit to Russia as head of the WPK delegation, met with Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, president of the Russian Federation, in the Kremlin, Moscow, on February 27.
At the meeting, President Putin asked the head of the WPK delegation to convey his warmest greetings and best wishes to Kim Jong Un, president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
Ri Hi Yong courteously relayed the militant greetings sent to him by Kim Jong Un.
Referring to the fact that Kim Jong Un is paying close attention to the development of cooperative relations between Russia and the DPRK, Putin warmly welcomed the WPK delegation to Russia.
He highly appreciated once again the historic meaning of the year 2024 which radically elevated the traditional friendly ties between the states of Russia and the DPRK to the comprehensive strategic partnership.
Saying that the two countries are closely tied with each other by dint of the excellent tradition of friendship and good neighbourliness and militant friendship, he expressed gratitude to the DPRK for rendering positive support to the Russian Federation.
He also expressed the conviction that the recently concluded 2025-2027 protocol on the expansion and development in depth of multi-faceted cooperation between the Workers’ Party of Korea and the United Russia Party would make a great contribution to the development of relations between the ruling parties of the two countries.
The talk proceeded in a comradely and friendly atmosphere all through the meeting.
Present there were Kim Song Nam, director of the International Department of the WPK Central Committee, Yuri Ushakov, assistant to the Russian president’s foreign policy, Vladimir Vladimirovich Yakushev, secretary of the General Council of the United Russia Party and first vice-chairman of the Russian Federation Council, and Alexandr Kozlov, minister of Natural Resources and Ecology of Russia.
