Strategic partnership, rejection of sanctions: results of talks between Putin, Kim Jong Un
The treaty will take interaction between the two countries "to a new level" rather than resting on laurels that already exist

PYONGYANG, June 19. /TASS/. Russia and North Korea signed a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement and several other important documents after the Russian-Korean talks in which President Vladimir Putin and his counterpart Kim Jong Un took part.

TASS has collected the main statements of the Russian president after the talks in Pyongyang.
Comprehensive strategic partnership treaty

The treaty will take interaction between the two countries "to a new level" rather than resting on laurels that already exist. The document "sets large-scale tasks and benchmarks for the long-term deepening of Russian-Korean relations." This includes the political, trade and investment, cultural, humanitarian and security spheres.

Among other things, the treaty provides for "mutual assistance in the event of aggression against one of the parties."

In this context, it is necessary to pay attention to the statements of the United States and other NATO countries on the supply of precision weapons systems for strikes on Russian territory: "This is not just talk, it is already happening, and all this is a gross violation of the restrictions accepted by Western countries within the framework of various international commitments."
