Vladimir Putin is given a warm welcome in North Korea
ai generated text
The two leaders signed a new comprehensive strategic partnership deal, replacing previous agreements from 1961, 2000, and 2001. The visit was marked by a lavish welcome ceremony, featuring an honor guard, mounted soldiers, and thousands of North Koreans lining the city's boulevards brandishing Russian and North Korean flags. The event was heavily scrutinized globally, with Russia likely aware that the optics would be closely watched.

Our people give full support and solidarity to the successful work of the Russian army and people.
We very much appreciate your systematic and permanent support of Russian policy, including on the Ukrainian issue.
I am very happy about our new meeting, I hope that the next one will take place in Russia, in Moscow.
Washington, refusing to implement previously reached agreements, continuously puts forward new, increasingly stringent and obviously unacceptable demands.
We will develop alternative mechanisms of trade and mutual settlements that are not controlled by the west, and jointly resist illegitimate unilateral restrictions. And at the same time we will build an architecture of equal and indivisible security in Eurasia.
It is deeply satisfying to conclude a great treaty that befits a changed international situation and the strategic nature of a new North Korea-Russia relationship.
We highly appreciate that the DPRK [North Korea] is firmly supporting the special military operations of Russia being conducted in Ukraine.
Relations between our two nations rose to a new high of alliance.
The comprehensive partnership agreement signed today includes, among other things, the provision of mutual assistance in the event of aggression against one of the parties to this agreement.
North Korea is providing significant munitions to Russia … and other weapons for use in Ukraine. Iran has been providing weaponry, including drones, that have been used against civilians and civilian infrastructure.
We know North Korean ballistic missiles are still being used to hit Ukrainian targets (and) there could be some reciprocity here that could affect security on the Korean peninsula.
It was a show of strength, a show of unity, heralding what they believe and want other people to believe is a new era in their relations.
If Pyongyang views Russia as a viable longer-term partner for improving its economy as irrational as this may seem to some there is even less of an incentive for it to try to improve relations with the United States.
They should urgently enforce sanctions to help ensure that the Putin-Kim vision of international relations fails.
After Kim Jong Un traveled to Russia for the previous two bilateral summits, this reciprocal visit is politically important because it allows Pyongyang's propaganda to portray Kim as a world leader.
The list of countries willing to welcome Putin is shorter than ever, but for Kim Jong Un, this visit is a victory.
Not only does the summit upgrade North Korea's status among countries standing against the US-led international order, it also helps bolster Kim's domestic legitimacy.
Beyond wealthy democracies, many other governments have abiding interests in rules-based trade and diplomacy.
