Kim Jong Un and Alexander Lukashenko met in Pyongyang and signed a friendship and cooperation treaty. The summit marks a deepening alliance between the two countries.
The treaty signals a “fundamentally new stage” in relations, with analysts noting Pyongyang’s increasing alignment with both Russia and Belarus.
This agreement is seen as deepening an anti-Western alliance and providing support for Russia’s war in Ukraine. The leaders held talks in North Korea’s capital during the visit.
