In the historic period when the relations between the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) and the Russian Federation are developing into the relations of comprehensive strategic partnership, we are greeting the 25 th anniversary of the adoption of the DPRK-Russia Joint Declaration, a landmark milestone in developing bilateral relations in the new century.
On July 19, 2000, Chairman Kim Jong Il met with Comrade Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, President of the Russian Federation on his visit to Pyongyang. They had a frank exchange of views on the issue of developing bilateral relations as well as on international issues of common concern, and signed the historic DPRK-Russia Joint Declaration.
The Joint Declaration showed both countries’ commitment to further expansion and enrichment of cooperation across various fields including politics, economy and culture between the DPRK and the Russian Federation and to strengthening collaboration in greater scope to ensure global peace and security and achieve prosperity. The adoption of the Joint Declaration was an epoch-making event that demonstrated before the world the invincibility of the bilateral relations of friendship with a long-standing tradition.
