Relations between Russia and North Korea

The ties between Russia and North Korea have historical roots, dating back to 1948, when the Soviet Union became the first country to officially recognize the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. During the Korean War, the North Korean army was largely supported by the USSR. Relations between the two countries continued even after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, mainly thanks to the push of Vladimir Putin.

Kim Jong-un, one who rarely leaves his borders, accepted an invitation to visit Russia in 2015, the two leaders then met in Vladivostok in 2019. When Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine on February 24, the North Korea was one of five countries to vote against a UN resolution condemning the invasion.
