A reception was jointly given by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the DPRK and the Russian embassy in Pyongyang on June 19 to mark the first anniversary of the historic DPRK-Russia Pyongyang summit and the conclusion of the comprehensive strategic partnership treaty between the DPRK and the Russian Federation.

Present there were Choe Son Hui, foreign minister of the DPRK, Jo Yong Won and Ri Hi Yong, secretaries of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, No Kwang Chol, minister of National Defence of the DPRK, and other senior officials of the Party, government and military and officials of the Party Central Committee, ministries and armed forces organs.

Present there were Alexandr Matsegora, Russian ambassador to the DPRK, and staff members of his embassy.

Choe Son Hui made a speech at the reception.

She said that the birth of the new international treaty confirming a new strategic path of the bilateral relations and giving confidence in its victory at an important time when the whole world is undergoing an unprecedented change is the brilliant fruition of the outstanding foresight, bold decision and seasoned leadership of the heads of state of the two countries.

She stressed that it is the invariable stand of the DPRK government to cooperate with the Russian Federation closely and comprehensively in various fields in the spirit of the new DPRK-Russia treaty and dynamically promote the development of the bilateral relations for the constant wellbeing of the peoples of the two countries and the beautiful future.

Alexandr Matsegora made a speech next.

He said that the treaty was concluded one year ago in Pyongyang to put the relations between the Russian Federation and the DPRK on a high level and give them a completely new feature and that never before in the past several decades had the two countries been so close and had such a deep mutual understanding and trust.

The solidity of the Russo-DPRK relations was proved and strengthened in the flames of the bloody war in which the excellent sons of the two peoples fought fierce battles against the common enemy shoulder to shoulder and won victory, he said, adding that Russia will never forget the feats performed by the soldiers of the Korean People’s Army who displayed miraculous heroism and added immortal glory to their colours in the battle sites of Kursk just as if they defended their motherland.

The reception proceeded in a comradely and friendly atmosphere.
