The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) has officially ratified the Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with Russia, marking a significant step in strengthening bilateral relations between the two nations. The ratification was made under a decree signed by the president of the State Affairs of the DPRK, as reported by the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on Tuesday.
According to the KCNA, the DPRK head of state signed the decree on Monday. The treaty is set to take effect once both sides exchange ratification instruments, solidifying their commitment to enhanced collaboration.
This development follows a summit held in June in Pyongyang, where the top leaders of the DPRK and Russia initially signed the treaty. The agreement signifies a mutual intent to bolster strategic ties and cooperate on various fronts, reflecting a shared vision for regional stability and prosperity.
