The entry into force of the treaty on strategic partnership between Russia and the DPRK will help develop bilateral cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang. The Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on December 5.

It notes that the treaty will contribute to stabilizing the situation and building a system of indivisible security in Northeast Asia and the Asia-Pacific region (APR).

The Russian Foreign Ministry recalled that the treaty came into force the day before, December 4, - on the day when Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko and Deputy Foreign Minister Kim Jong-gyu exchanged instruments of ratification.

Earlier in the day, the Korean Central Telegraphic Agency (KCTAK) specified that Pyongyang's position on the strategic partnership treaty with Russia is that the two countries' relations based on the agreement will guarantee international strategic stability and make the construction of a new multipolar world faster.
