Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov thanked North Korea for supporting the country's war efforts in Ukraine and pledged Moscow's "complete support and solidarity" for North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Russia's foreign ministry said.
"Likewise, the Russian Federation extends its complete support and solidarity with the aspirations of the DPRK," Lavrov said, according to the transcript of the speech released on the Russian foreign ministry website. DPRK is the initials of the North's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
Lavrov's two-day visit comes a month after North Korean leader Kim made a rare trip to Russia, during which he invited Putin to Pyongyang and discussed military cooperation. A U.S. think tank said on Tuesday that satellite images showed continued activity around a North Korean port near Russia, indicating at least six trips by sea between the two countries since late August.
