On June 19, Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed a treaty on comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries.
The treaty was signed in Pyongyang after talks between the two leaders during President Putin's state visit to North Korea.
After the signing ceremony, the two leaders held a press conference. Mr. Putin assessed the above treaty as a breakthrough document, through which the two countries raised bilateral cooperation to a new level. The treaty sets out major tasks and directions for deepening relations between the two countries in the long term, in the fields of politics, trade and investment, culture as well as security.
Mr. Putin said that economic and trade cooperation between the two countries has good prospects, although bilateral trade turnover is still modest. Specifically, in 2023, bilateral trade turnover will increase 9 times, and in the first 5 months of 2024, it will increase by 54%.
President Putin stressed that Russia continues its political and diplomatic efforts to promote lasting peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula.
For his part, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un emphasized that by signing the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty, the two countries have taken their alliance to a new level. According to him, this is a legal basis for protecting peace, security and building a strong nation for the benefit of both countries.
Mr. Kim Jong Un also stated that the treaty is a constructive, defensive and peaceful document, responding to the strategic relationship between the two countries in the new era when the positions of the two countries in the world's geopolitical structure have changed.
Earlier, Russian Presidential Assistant Yuri Ushakov said the new document would replace the Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance signed in 1961, the Treaty of Friendship and Good-Neighborly Cooperation signed in 2000, the Moscow Declaration of 2000 and the Pyongyang Declaration of 2001. According to Ushakov, a new treaty is needed in the context of profound changes in the geopolitical situation in the world and in the region, as well as qualitative changes in bilateral relations between the two countries in recent times.
Mr. Ushakov affirmed that the new treaty respects all the basic principles of international law, is non-confrontational and is not aimed against third countries but is aimed at ensuring greater stability in the Northeast Asian region.
