MOSCOW, 15 August 2022, (TON): According to state media “Russian President Vladimir Putin has told North Korea’s Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un that the two countries will expand comprehensive and constructive bilateral relations with common efforts.”
KCNA news agency said “in a letter to Kim for liberation day –which marks the end of Japan’s 1910-45 occupation of Korea — Putin said closer ties would be in both countries’ interests, and would help strengthen the security and stability of the Korean peninsula and the Northeastern Asian region.”
Kim also sent a letter to Putin saying Russian-North Korean friendship had been forged in World War II with victory over Japan, which had occupied the Korean peninsula.
The strategic and tactical cooperation, support and solidarity between the two countries has since reached a new level in their common efforts to frustrate threats and provocations from hostile military forces, Kim said in the letter.
