According to Lenta this diplomatic move aims to participate in the fifth session of the Russian-North Korean Joint Working Group on Energy Cooperation.
The visit, officially announced via the Russian embassy's Telegram channel in North Korea, is part of the broader intergovernmental commission focused on trade, economic, and scientific-technical collaboration.
A Steadfast Ally
On July 27, the delegation departed from Sunan Airport, en route to Moscow, to engage in these important discussions. This visit highlights the continuing strategic partnership between Russia and North Korea, especially in light of recent statements by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Putin emphasized that North Korea remains a steadfast ally of Russia, united in their stance against Western powers.
In addition to this ongoing cooperation in the energy sector, Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un have recently signed a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement. This agreement underscores their commitment to mutual assistance, pledging immediate support in the event of aggression against either nation. The two countries have agreed to coordinate positions and cooperate closely to counter any emerging threats.
