how many came here today is unknown, but there were clearly more people willing, only here, in the only place in the city , portraits of kemchinin and vladimir putin are located, next to each other. first near the podium on license the korean leader appeared. next are both delegations, the russian, more than

representative lavrov, manturov, novyk, belousov, starovoid, murashka and a dozen and a half leaders. the governor is here. an iconic unit, standing in a convertible , vladimir putin and kimchenun drive around the entire square accompanied by fireworks and my native country is wide , performed by a korean military orchestra. you can clearly hear people chanting the name of the russian president; translators will later tell you what it was. korean-russian

friendship is solid, we welcome putin. also greeted by hundreds of phinyang residents. last year, the countries celebrated the anniversary of the establishment of bilateral relations, and it was with putin’s first visit here that the resumption of full-fledged partnership after the lull of the nineties was associated. russia and the dprk have been linked by strong friendship and close good neighborliness for many decades. interaction between our countries is based on the principles of equality, mutual respect, and mutual interests. korean government. appreciates the important mission and role of a strong russian federation in maintaining strategic stability and balance in the world, and also expresses full support and solidarity to the russian government, army and people in carrying out a special military operation in ukraine to protect sovereignty, security interests,

as well as territorial integrity. on the sidelines all this time, sergei lavrov moved from hall to hall, his counterpart tsoisonkhi. the woman at the post of head of the dprk foreign ministry, denis manturov, was animatedly discussing something with his korean colleague, the whole delegation has a lot of work here. the leaders' negotiations are taking place at the residence of the leader of korea, kemsusan. it is almost impossible to unambiguously translate this word into russian; in fact, it is three words: gold, mountain and water. as the translators say, this is something like a concentration of all the best, but also a truly real oriental flavor. the most important part, of course, is theta tet. there is a program for... walking outside, but it’s very hot there now. despite its relative secrecy, north korea trades with more than a hundred countries around the world. the first places in terms of turnover, of course, belong to china, india, and vietnam; the volume of trade with our country last year increased ninefold. 5 months of the current one, then another 54%. moscow and pyongyang have protocols on cooperation in education, science, transport, medicine, and

now there will be a comprehensive strategic partnership. and immediately the heads of the ministry of transport sign their sectoral agreements with their colleagues. and the ministry of health, but of course, there will be new documents; there is interest on both sides in the development of those areas that will be formed. our colleagues have certain achievements, including in the industrial sphere. the ussr and russia helped their korean friends with technology in space peaceful atom, well, as a gift, the newest russian car was sent to korea by the president himself, and today, as it turned out...

judging by the footage, at a very high speed, vladimir putin took his korean colleague for a walk, here is the way back for the steering has already been done by the new owner of the aurus. pyongyang is hampered by 2.0 sanctions, they hit insurance, shipping, electronics, some were introduced by the un security council, they are the only ones that are legitimate, the rest is on the conscience of washington, because of whose plans to hit the dprk pyongyang started its nuclear program. the koreans fully support the russian fight against such a policy. the us koreans fully understand the reasons for the svo, we highly appreciate your consistent and unwavering support for russian policy, including. in the ukrainian direction, bearing in mind our struggle against the decades-long imperialist policy

imposed by the united states and its satellites on the russian federation. only recently russia blocked the american initiative in the security council to extend the work of experts on sanctions against the dprk. inspired by the united states and its allies , the indefinite restrictive regime of the un security council in relation to... asia and russia and korea pursue an independent and independent foreign policy and do not accept the language of blackmail and dictatorship. we oppose the practice of applying politically motivated sanctions and restrictions. these illegitimate actions will only weaken us.

we will follow strictly, but even in difficult conditions, the koreans manage to develop construction and industry and high space technologies; the united states has brought a new factor of instability to the asian region, the aucus alliance, the twin brother of nato with the same leadership in washington, while britain and australia are still in it, but new zealand is a member, and japan and south korea are cooperating with nato with all their might. at the beginning of june, as if testing the waters , the head of the pentagon asked austin if washington would help if ... wants to host a nuclear submarine. the united states and south korea are already preparing military exercises this month; according to media reports, they will practice a nuclear strike on their neighbors. our assessments regarding the root

causes of the escalation of military-political tensions coincide. this is a confrontational us policy to expand its military infrastructure in the subregion, which is accompanied by a significant increase in the scale and intensity of various military exercises. moscow helped phinyan respond to american aggression back in the middle of the last century, just a few years after liberation from the japanese occupiers in the world war. flowers at the monument to soviet soldiers

and science.

treaty on comprehensive strategic partnership, which was signed by the leaders of russia and the dprk. experts from south korea are speculating what is behind this agreement? who wins more, putin or kim? i think they benefit equally. putin is likely counting on getting the artillery shells he will need in ukraine. and it is important for kim to enlist the support of a major nuclear power. now not only china, but also

russia is behind him. officials in the white house, seeing a clear threat to american hegemony, immediately decided to intimidate the whole world, they say, for good neighborliness and friendship, hide the insidious intentions of moscow and pyongyang, classic rhetoric for the biden administration, which is losing political points in light of the presidential elections. we are concerned about the rapprochement of these countries, not only because this process seems to be on the ukrainians in the donbass , north korean artillery shells are being used, but because moscow's rapprochement with phinyang undermines security in...

vietnam during the war, the united states, dying from hunger, came to the rescue soviet russia came to us, supplying equipment and food. thanks to this, we survived the battlefield and united the territories. we are sincerely glad to see vladimir putin in hanoi, as in pyongyang. russia sees a like-minded person in vietnam, the president emphasized. i like russian leader vladimir putin, i am confident that his visit will make an important contribution to the development of bilateral relations between our countries. it is a great honor for my country to host vladimir putin. his trip will deepen the trusting relationship between hanoi and moscow, primarily in the areas of diplomacy and economics. the russian leader’s visit to several asian countries at once clearly demonstrates that the collective west has failed to isolate moscow from the whole world. the kremlin will continue to pursue an independent sovereign policy based on an equal and confidential dialogue. it's time.
