Last month, President Putin visited North Korea for the first time in 24 years, held a summit with Chairman Kim Jong-un, and signed a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement. This agreement replaces the 1961 Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance and the 2000 North Korea-Russia Friendship Treaty.
At that time, despite President Putin’s late arrival in the early morning hours, Chairman Kim personally welcomed him at the airport and also saw him off when he departed.
Russian media reported, “The citizens’ farewell procession stretched over 20 kilometers,” adding, “No previous Russian president has received such a large-scale send-off.”
