Pyongyang, July 19 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Sunday dedicates an article to the 20th anniversary of the adoption of the DPRK-Russia joint declaration at the significant meeting and talks between Chairman Kim Jong Il and President Putin in July, Juche 89 (2000). The article says that the historic meeting in Pyongyang and adoption of the DPRK-Russia joint declaration laid a firm foundation for comprehensively developing the friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries as required by the new era. It goes on: The peoples of the two countries became comrades-in-arms in the joint struggle of the grim anti-Japanese war and have deepened their friendly relations for decades. The historic root and tradition of friendship between the DPRK and Russia were made in that course. The DPRK-Russia joint declaration marked an important milestone in developing the traditional DPRK-Russia friendship in the new era. After the adoption of the historic document, the friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries have steadily developed. Chairman Kim Jong Il paid deep attention to developing the friendly relations between the two countries on the basis of the DPRK-Russia joint declaration and visited Russia several times. Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un is glorifying the undying feats of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il for developing the DPRK-Russia friendship. Kim Jong Un pays great attention to invariably maintaining the DPRK-Russia friendly relations provided by the great leaders and putting them on a new stage in a lasting and constructive way. He held the historic first meeting with President Putin in Vladivostok City on Juche 108 (2019) and further strengthened the strategic and traditional DPRK-Russia friendship. Thanks to his energetic external activities, the decades-long friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries grow stronger with each passing day. The deep-rooted DPRK-Russia friendly relations will further develop in line with the interests of the peoples of the two countries in the future, too. |
