Moscow: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Friday hailed what he described as close ties between the militaries and security services of Russia and North Korea, saying such ties made it possible for both countries to solve their security challenges.
Lavrov made the comments at the start of talks in Moscow with North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui.
Lavrov thanked Pyongyang for what he called its "principled position" on the war in Ukraine amid US claims that 10,000 North Korean troops have been deployed to Russia, something Moscow has neither confirmed nor denied.
