Vladimir Putin sent a message of greetings to Chairman of State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea Kim Jong-un on the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations.
The message reads, in part:
“In 1948, the Soviet Union became the first country to recognise the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Since then, Moscow and Pyongyang have developed strong relations of friendship, good-neighbourliness and cooperation.
It is gratifying that Russian-Korean ties continue to develop in all areas based on the glorious traditions of the past, as our recent meeting at the Vostochny Space Launch Centre has shown clearly. I am confident that the implementation of the agreements reached will help us build up our constructive bilateral interaction in the interests of our nations and security and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in Northeast Asia as a whole.”
