State media KCNA said on Monday that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has committed to “hold hands” with Russian President Vladimir Putin and strengthen strategic collaboration on their common goal of establishing a powerful country.
Kim made the commitment in a statement to Putin on Russia’s National Day in which he defended his choice to attack Ukraine and expressed his “full support and solidarity.”
Kim claimed in the statement made public by KCNA that “justice will undoubtedly triumph and the Russian people will keep adding glory to the history of victory.”
Kim called for “closer strategic cooperation” with Moscow, “holding hands firmly with the Russian president, in conformity with the common desire of the peoples of the two countries to fulfill the grand goal of building a powerful country,” it added.
North Korea has sought to forge closer ties with the Kremlin and backed Moscow after it invaded Ukraine last year, blaming the “hegemonic policy” and “high-handedness” of the United States and the West.
