Russia and the DPRK have signed an agreement on a comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries. This agreement provides for mutual military assistance in the event of aggression against one of the participants.

This was reported by Russian media. The agreement was signed during Russian President Vladimir Putin's first visit to Pyongyang in 24 years on Wednesday, June 19.

Putin also said that he does not rule out the development of military-technical cooperation with the DPRK. In addition, he said that the DPRK's "objective and balanced" position on Ukraine "confirms the sovereign course of this country."

"Moscow and Pyongyang will continue to oppose the practice of sanctions strangulation, which is familiar to the West," Putin said.

In turn, Kim Jong Un called Russia "the most honest friend and ally" and Putin "the dearest friend of the Korean people."

As reported by OBOZ.UA, Putin held a one-on-one meeting with DPRK leader Kim Jong Un in Pyongyang. After the meeting, Putin announced a "new fundamental document that will become the basis for future relations between the countries in the long term."

Earlier it was reported that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin's visit to North Korea was probably a gesture of goodwill towards DPRK leader Kim Jong Un to help legitimize his party's regime both at home and abroad. In return, the Kremlin leader expects additional assistance in the future, which could range from additional requests for weapons to labor.
