Putin, Kim agree to develop 'strategic fortress' relations, KCNA says
==========
Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un agreed to develop their nations' relations during Putin's visit to Pyongyang. The visit is Putin's first trip to the North Korean capital in 24 years and is expected to reshape Russia-North Korea relations. The partnership between the two countries is seen as an engine for accelerating the building of a new multi-polar world. Russia has used its warming ties with North Korea to counter the United States, while North Korea has received political backing and promises of economic support from Moscow. The agenda for the visit includes one-on-one discussions, a gala concert, state reception, document signings, and a statement to the media. Putin praised Pyongyang for resisting US economic pressure and promised to develop alternative trade and settlement mechanisms not controlled by the West. He also issued a presidential order to sign a comprehensive strategic partnership treaty with North Korea, which would include security issues.
