Relations between Belarus and North Korea are entering a fundamentally new phase, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said on Thursday.
“Friendly relations between our states, which originated during the Soviet era, have never been interrupted. Today, as a result of comprehensive progressive development, we are entering a fundamentally new phase. With great delay, but nevertheless, we are entering a new era,” Lukshenko was quoted by Belta as saying during talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Despite geographical distance, Belarusian and Korean people are united in common interests, such as patriotism, preservation of historical memory, and deep respect for the older generation, Lukashenko also said.
“In the current realities of global transformation, when the norms of international law are openly ignored and violated by the powerful of this world, independent countries need to interact more closely, consolidate efforts aimed at protecting their sovereignty and improving the welfare of our citizens,” he said.
The North Korean leader said that the country expresses solidarity and full support for Belarus, which “seeks to pursue an independent policy corresponding to its reality, achieve peace and development, while continuing to develop relations with traditionally friendly countries”. — SPUTNIK
