On Tuesday, Kim Jong Un, the leader of Kim Jong Un, and the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin exchanged letters vowing to boost their ties into what the supreme leader of Pyongyang called a “long-standing strategic association,” Pyongyang’s state media KCNA said.
The exchanged letters between Moscow and Pyongyang mark the sovereignty from Japan’s 1910-45 colonial control, which is also marked as a nationwide holiday in South Korea.
KCNA said, in a letter, Kim said that Moscow and Pyongyang’s friendship was developed in World War II with conquest over Tokyo and are now “completely showing their invincibility and might in the battle to hit the imperialists’ arbitrary practices and hegemony.
Kim was mentioned as saying in the letter that he is strongly sure that the fellowship and unity… will be further grown into a long-standing strategic association by the need of the new generation. It added that both nations will forever emerge victorious, firmly helping and uniting with each other in the path of fulfilling their joint purpose and cause.
North Korea has been accused by the United States of supplying arms to Russia for its battle in Ukraine, including artillery shells, shoulder-fired rockets, and missiles.
Moscow and Pyongyang have rejected any weapons dealings.
Putin also pledged to boost ties with Pyongyang in his message to Kim.
According to KCNA, Putin said that he is fully sure that both nations will bolster the ties in all occupations for the two peoples’ well-being and the strong power and safety of the Korean peninsula and the whole of Northeast Asia.
