The strategic dialog at the foreign minister level between Russia and DPRK was held in DPRK.

The Russian Foreign Ministry released a statement on its website on the 12th, stating that Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov and North Korean Foreign Minister Choi Sun Hee held the second round of strategic dialogues between Russia and North Korea at the foreign ministerial level in North Korea’s Wonsan that day.
The statement said both sides exchanged views on the situation in the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia, and clarified that they would work together to resolve current issues through political and diplomatic channels, and jointly resist the hegemonic ambitions of external powers that attempt to escalate tensions in Northeast Asia and even the entire Asia-Pacific region.
After the strategic dialogue ended, Lavrov said both Russia and North Korea believed that the unresolved issue of the Korean Peninsula has a negative impact on the overall situation in Northeast Asia and equal and mutually beneficial cooperation among countries in the region. External powers attempting to form a “narrow alliance” in the Asia-Pacific region and promote NATO infrastructure construction are “dangerous”. The North Korean side expressed its firm support for Russia’s special military operation. The Russian side thanked the North Korean People’s Army for its contribution to the recovery of Kursk State in Russia.
Lavrov also said that with the signing of the Treaty of Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between Russia and North Korea in June 2024, Russia and North Korea have made positive progress in cooperation in economy, trade, humanities and other fields. Both sides will also resume sea routes and actively promote the development of tourism.
Lavrov arrived in Wonsan on the 11th to begin a three-day visit to North Korea. On the 12th, North Korean Party Secretary General and State Council Chairman Kim Jong Un met with Lavrov in Wonsan.
