The leaders of North Korea and Russia have signed what they called their “‘strongest-ever”’ mutual defence agreement. Russian President Vladimir Putin said on June 19, 2024, that “mutual assistance” would be provided in case either country faces aggression. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un added that the pledge has grown into a “new higher level of alliance” between the two countries. Putin’s visit to North Korea was his first in 24 years. It was closely watched by the US and South Korea, which share concerns about growing ties between Pyongyang and Moscow.
