North Korea has reaffirmed its commitment to deepening relations with Russia at a diplomatic event, calling its ties with Moscow an “invincible” comradeship, Pyongyang’s state media reported Monday.<\/p>\n

The North Korean Embassy in Russia hosted a reception marking the 78th anniversary of forming diplomatic relations between the two nations last Tuesday, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said.<\/p>\n

The event was attended by Alexander Kozlov, Russia’s minister of natural resources and chair of the North Korea-Russia Intergovernmental Committee for Cooperation in Trade, Economy and Science, along with other Russian government and party officials.<\/p>\n

North Korean Ambassador to Russia Sin Hong-chol said the bilateral ties have developed at an unprecedented level through the “most truthful” relations forged between North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n

Shin said the meeting between their leaders in 2024 has upgraded bilateral ties into a comprehensive strategic partnership and leaped toward “invincible comradely-in-arms relations,” according to the KCNA.<\/p>\n

In response, Kozlov said the comprehensive strategic partnership treaty signed between Kim and Putin in June 2024 reflects the shared commitment of Pyongyang and Moscow for “respect, trust and common prosperity.”<\/p>\n

North Korea and Russia signed the mutual defense treaty in 2024, which includes a provision committing both nations to mutual military assistance in the event of an attack on either side.<\/p>\n

Russian Ambassador to North Korea Andrey Podelyshev hosted a reception to mark the 78th anniversary of diplomatic relations Wednesday, according to a separate KCNA report.<\/p>\n
