North Korean leader Kim Jong-un met with Russian Culture Minister Olga Lyubimova in Pyongyang, marking the first anniversary of the countries’ strategic partnership. Kim emphasized the importance of cultural cooperation, stating, “We should further develop interaction in culture and art to better understand and learn from each other.”
Lyubimova said cultural ties were at their strongest and confirmed a new agreement with her North Korean counterpart, set to last until 2027. The visit came days after North Korea opened a 20,000-person tourism complex, raising speculation about welcoming Russian tourists in the future.
