North Korean leader Kim Jong Un expressed his unwavering support for Russian President Vladimir Putin in a message sent on June 12, as reported by state media. The message, which was part of Russia Day celebrations, a patriotic holiday marking Russia's independence, highlighted Kim's deep respect for Putin, referring to him as his "dearest friend."
Kim praised the strong bilateral ties between the two countries, calling their relationship a "genuine partnership between comrades-in-arms."
