This visit marks a new era of cooperation between Russia and North Korea, as both seek to challenge the West’s dominance. Putin described the countries’ ties as based on “equality and mutual respect.” He mentioned that a new bilateral agreement would “form the basis of relations between the two states for many years to come.”

Boost for Kim Jong Un

The visit is a significant boost for Kim Jong Un, who remains isolated on the world stage due to his illegal weapons program. This landmark visit marks the first time Kim has hosted another world leader in his capital since the pandemic, occurring as tensions remain high on the Korean Peninsula.

This visit marks a new chapter in relations between Russia and North Korea. Putin seeks North Korean arms for Russia’s ongoing offensive in Ukraine. The Russian leader appears eager to ensure continued support from North Korea, especially as delayed American military aid to Ukraine comes online.

Historical Context

The two nations have a long history of ties, dating back to the Soviet era. Kim’s grandfather, Kim Il Sung, rose to power in the late 1940s with Soviet support to install a communist government in the north. The Soviet Union played a significant role in the formation of North Korea, cementing deep ties on the Korean Peninsula.

Putin’s visit to North Korea marks a significant milestone in the deepening ties between the two nations. It symbolizes solidarity and cooperation and sparks a new era of bilateral relations. However, the visit has also raised concerns over arms transfers and the potential for Moscow to share military technology with Pyongyang’s heavily sanctioned weapons program.
