Since the establishment of the DPRK-Russia diplomatic relations, the governments and peoples of the two countries have ceaselessly developed their friendly relations for 75 years, closely cooperating with each other in different fields such as politics, economy and culture on the principle of independence, equality and mutual respect, the article says, and goes on:

The DPRK-Russia friendly relations have developed century after century despite the stern tempest of history. This would have been unthinkable without the undying exploits performed by President Kim Il Sung, Chairman Kim Jong Il and the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who provided sagacious guidance to steadily develop the long-standing traditional DPRK-Russia relations of friendship in keeping with the interests and desire of the two peoples and make the relations the cornerstone for ensuring regional peace and realizing international justice.

Kim Jong Un paid a historic visit to the Russian Federation this year marking the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the DPRK-Russia diplomatic relations, thus opening a new chapter of the bilateral friendly relations.

His recent official goodwill visit to the Russian Federation marked a historic occasion for further strengthening the traditional ties of DPRK-Russia good neighborly cooperation based on the comradely friendship and militant unity and for opening a new chapter for the development of the bilateral relations.

The strategic DPRK-Russia friendly relations with the long history and traditions will as ever be consolidated firmly and developed ceaselessly by the concerted efforts of the governments and peoples of the two countries.
