North Korean leader Kim Jong Un tells Russian President Vladimir Putin that he is “proud” of ties between Pyongyang and Moscow. In a message delivered in a letter to Putin, Kim says he holds a “firm belief” that Russia will continue to thrive and protect its “territorial integrity.”
The reports cite a Sunday English-language account based on North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency. Multiple outlets describe Kim’s praise as crediting Putin’s “wise leadership,” alongside Kim’s reaffirmed intention to keep strengthening bilateral relations.
Across the coverage, the emphasis remains on the content of Kim’s remarks and the diplomatic framing of the relationship as strong and mutually reinforcing. None of the sources provide additional details on specific cooperation or separate policy commitments beyond the letter’s stated sentiments about ties, stability, and territorial integrity.
