Pyongyang, December 27 (Xinhua) — Kim Jong Un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) and Chairman of State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), sent a New Year's greeting to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported.
According to KCNA, Kim Jong-un expressed his “warmest and most sincere congratulations and best wishes” to Vladimir Putin, as well as the government and people of Russia, on the occasion of the New Year 2026.
The Supreme Leader noted that he, as well as the government and people of the DPRK, will always stand with Vladimir Putin and the Russian people.
The year 2025, "filled with immortal events that will forever be etched in the history of relations between the two countries," has become a significant year, the statement said. Relations between the DPRK and Russia have strengthened even further, "transforming into the most sincere alliance in which people share blood, sorrow, and joy in the same trench," Kim Jong-un emphasized.
