Aug. 15 (EUROPA PRESS) –
Russian President Vladimir Putin has asked his North Korean counterpart Kim Jon Un to expand bilateral relations between Moscow and Pyongyang.
Putin has indicated that they would continue “expanding comprehensive and constructive bilateral relations with common efforts” within “the interests of the peoples of the two countries,” according to the North Korean news agency KCNA.
Thus, he added that these measures will contribute to “strengthening the security and stability of the Korean peninsula and the entire territory,” according to a congratulation from the president to the North Korean leader on the occasion of the 77th anniversary of Liberation Day, a national holiday in the Asian country.
The message from Moscow has indicated that “the two countries have deeply cherished the memories of the Red Army servicemen and Korean patriots who fought shoulder to shoulder for liberation.”
Such cooperation measures of yesteryear “serve today as a lasting basis for developing good-neighbourly relations,” Putin stressed.
Kim Jon Un has responded to the words of his Russian counterpart. For his part, he has assessed that relations with Russia “have reached a new level”, due to the common front “to thwart the military threat and the provocation of hostile forces”.
“The friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries based on comradely friendship and militant unity will be strengthened in all fields on the basis of the agreements reached at the 2019 meeting in Vladivostok and thus contribute to the prosperity and well-being of the peoples of the two countries”, he expressed.
