“Our nations are linked by long-standing traditions of friendship, good-neighborliness and cooperation. Russia has consistently supported the Korean people’s willingness to achieve national reconciliation and re-unification by peaceful means, to develop inter-Korean dialogue and cooperation, which is a way toward stronger peace and security on the Korea Peninsula and in the Asia-Pacific region.

“We are prepared to contribute to the successful outcome of the nuclear talks, regarding it as a result of our joint strenuous effort. We hope to thus recover genuine capacities for the improvement of the situation on the Korea Peninsula.”
