The Russian leader is visiting North Korea for the first time in 24 years, amid international concern over an agreement to exchange technology for ammunition to be used by his troops in Ukraine.
Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un have signed a comprehensive strategic partnership in a bid to unite against the US. The agreement includes a vow of mutual assistance if either country is attacked. The Russian leader is visiting North Korea for the first time in 24 years. Russian state media said Mr Putin spoke to Mr Kim face-to-face for about two hours and thanked him for his country's support for the war in Ukraine.
Mr Kim said the 'fiery friendship' was now even closer than during Soviet times, and promised 'full support and solidarity to the Russian government, army and people in carrying out the special military operation in Ukraine to protect sovereignty, security interests and territorial integrity'. He also hailed Russia's 'important role and mission in preserving the strategic stability and balance in the world'.
