North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui is making an official visit to Russia on July 18 (local time), according to the Russian state-run news agency RIA Novosti.
The report states that Choe is arriving in Moscow on this day for an official visit at the invitation of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Specific details regarding the purpose of the visit and the itinerary have not yet been disclosed.
North Korea and Russia signed a comprehensive strategic partnership treaty in 2024, maintaining a relationship that functions similarly to a military alliance.
In particular, North Korea further strengthened its strategic solidarity with Russia that year by deploying troops to assist in the effort to recapture the Kursk region, which had been occupied by Ukraine in a surprise attack.
