A revived Moscow-Pyongyang axis could bolster Russia’s military in Ukraine.
Russian president Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un tour a space launch facility yesterday.
“At the end of the reception, Kim Jong-un courteously invited Putin to visit the DPRK at a convenient time,” KCNA said, referring to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, North Korea’s formal name. Both Russia and North Korea have denied those claims, but promised to deepen defence cooperation, and during a visit to North Korea in July, defence minister Sergei Shoigu was shown banned ballistic missiles by Kim.
In recent years, China has been seen as the power with the most influence over Kim, but Pyongyang’s leaders have often tried to balance ties with both Moscow and Beijing. Amid the grinding artillery battles in Ukraine, Russia has ramped up its shell production, but a North Korean supply line could be useful.
But Peskov added that Moscow would develop its relations with North Korea in accordance with its own interests.
