Mr Putin thanked North Korea for supporting what Russia calls its special military operation in Ukraine.
Mr Vladimir Putin promised to build trade and security systems with North Korea that are not controlled by the West.
In an article published by North Korean state media, Mr Putin praised “Comrade” Kim, and promised to “jointly resist illegitimate unilateral restrictions”, to develop trade and strengthen security across Eurasia. North Korean state media also published articles praising Russia and supporting its military operations in Ukraine, calling them a “sacred war of all Russian citizens”.
Russia is due to outproduce the whole Nato military alliance on ammunition production this year, so Mr Putin’s trip is likely aimed at underscoring to Washington just how disruptive Moscow can be on a host of global crises. The visit will include one-on-one discussions between the two leaders, as well as a gala concert, state reception, honour guards, document signings, and a statement to the media, Russia’s Interfax news agency quoted Mr Ushakov as saying.
