On the occasion of Korea’s National Liberation Day, celebrated on Monday, August 15, Russian President Vladimir Putin wrote a letter to Kim Jong-Un, leader of North Korea, reports the Reuters news agency, citing the North Korean state agency KCNA.
According to this source, Vladimir Putin told Kim Jong-Un that Moscow and Pyongyang “will develop constructive bilateral relations through joint efforts.”
A “strategic and tactical cooperation”
According to the Russian president, a rapprochement between the two countries could strengthen the security and stability of the Korean region and North East Asia, explains Reuters.
The agency indicates that Kim Jong-Un also wrote a letter to the address of Vladimir Putin. The “strategic and tactical cooperation, support and solidarity” between the two countries has reached a new level thanks to their joint efforts “to counter threats and provocations by hostile military forces,” the North Korean leader writes in his letter.
At the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, Kim Jong-Un fully supported Moscow and accused Washington of being “at the root” of the crisis. In July, Pyongyang officially recognized two self-proclaimed pro-Russian breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine.
