SEOUL: North Korea leader Kim Jong Un exchanged letters with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday (Oct 12), vowing to advance their ties and wishing him victory over what he called hegemony and pressure from imperialists, Pyongyang's state media KCNA said.
In his letter, Kim said he was extremely satisfied with their"candid, comprehensive" discussions during the visit. He pledged to further develop relations to a"new height" and wished Putin good luck in resisting Western pressure over Ukraine.
"I hope that the Russian people, who have set out to build a strong nation, will always achieve only victory and glory in their struggle to protect the country's sovereignty, dignity, security and peace by crushing the imperialists' persistent hegemonic policy and anti-Russia scheme to isolate and stifle it," Kim said.
Kim's visit has stoked US concerns that a revived Moscow-Pyongyang axis could bolster Russia's military in Ukraine and provide Kim with missile technology banned under UN resolutions.We know it's a hassle to switch browsers but we want your experience with CNA to be fast, secure and the best it can possibly be.
