On July 12, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un met Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Wonsan, where Kim had recently opened the new Wonsan Kalma coastal tourist area. The meeting, aired by North Korea’s state television KRT, highlighted the strengthening ties between North Korea and Russia amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict. Kim reiterated his unconditional support for all measures taken by Moscow and emphasized solidarity during high-level strategic talks. Lavrov, in turn, described the countries’ relationship as an “invincible fighting brotherhood” and expressed gratitude for North Korea’s deployment of over 10,000 troops and arms to support Russia’s military efforts. Prior to meeting Kim, Lavrov also held talks with North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui. Both sides issued a joint statement pledging to protect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity. This meeting further underscores the deepening military and diplomatic alliance between the two nations since the start of the Ukraine war in 2022.
