Vladimir Putin's visit to North Korea: Russian President Vladimir Putin is visiting North Korea for the first time in 24 years. Putin arrived in North Korea on Wednesday morning where he was warmly welcomed by Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. After being welcomed at the airport, Kim left in the same car with Putin. Putin said that both countries want to cooperate with each other to remove the US sanctions that have caused sleepless nights to the whole world and especially the western countries.
Kim Jong Un welcomes Putin
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un met Putin at Pyongyang airport. North Korea's official news agency said they shook hands and hugged, and then Kim got into a car with Putin and took him to the Kumsusan State Guest House in Pyongyang. The agency called his visit a historic event that demonstrates the “invincibility and durability” of friendship and unity between the two countries.
Kim was seen standing on the red carpet waiting for Putin
North Korea is a country isolated from the rest of the world where Putin has visited for the first time in 24 years. Foreign leaders are rarely seen here. In such a situation, Putin's visit to Korea was a big event in itself for Korea for which elaborate preparations were made.
A video has surfaced in which a large red carpet is being laid out at the airport. Kim is seen standing on the red carpet waiting for Putin. As Putin descends the steps of his plane, Kim walks forward to join him and the two leaders share a warm hug.
Putin is on his first visit to North Korea in 24 years
In another video, Putin and Kim's convoy can be seen passing through a large number of security forces on bikes. This video of the caravan passing through a wide road between skyscrapers shows an early morning scene.
Putin is on his first visit to North Korea in 24 years. After meeting Kim, Putin said, “I appreciate that North Korea has supported Russia's military action in Ukraine.” In February 2022, Russia waged war against Ukraine.
Putin said the two countries will continue to strongly oppose Western attempts to hinder the establishment of justice, mutual respect for sovereignty and a multipolar world order.
Putin's visit comes at a time when North Korea is supplying Russia with the weapons it needs to continue the war in Ukraine. In return, Russia is providing it with economic aid and transferring technology, which Kim fears could be used in his nuclear program.
We heartily welcome the President of Russia
According to a report, the streets in North Korea's capital Pyongyang were decorated with pictures of Putin and Russian flags. A banner on a building read, “We heartily welcome the Shia President.”
Putin also said in North Korea that Russia and North Korea are not controlled by the West, and that these countries will create a trade and payment system that will work together to break sanctions against countries. He called the Western sanctions imposed on Korea and Russia illegal and unilateral sanctions.
Both Russia and North Korea are facing Western sanctions
The United Nations Security Council has imposed heavy economic sanctions on North Korea due to its nuclear weapons and missile programs. On the other hand, Western countries including the US have imposed strict sanctions on Russia due to the attack on Ukraine.
Putin said that both countries will also increase cooperation in the fields of tourism, culture and education.
Several documents will be signed during the visit
His foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov said several top officials are also visiting North Korea, including Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov, Defense Minister Andrei Belousov and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. He said several documents would be signed during the visit, which could include an agreement on a comprehensive strategic partnership.
US and South Korean officials say military and economic ties between the two countries have grown rapidly since Putin and Kim first met in Russia in 2019. The US and South Korea accuse North Korea of supplying arms and ammunition to Russia for use in Ukraine. But both Russia and North Korea deny the allegations.
