The deep-rooted relations of friendship and cooperation between the two countries are now greeting a new heyday under the deep care of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un and the respected President Putin.

Kim Jong Un made precious and satisfactory agreements with Putin, paying a goodwill visit to the Russian Federation twice. Those agreements became a sure milestone for comprehensively and more vigorously developing the DPRK-Russia relations of friendship and cooperation in keeping with the requirements of the new era and the complicated international political situation.
