Abstract:

Kim Jong Un’s visit to Russia from 12 to 17 September was the North Korean leader’s longest foreign trip since he took power in 2011 and the first since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Meetings with Russian government officials, including Vladimir Putin, confirm the deepening of bilateral relations following the launch of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. While the visit was primarily of political-propaganda significance, it could mean closer military cooperation between North Korea and Russia. This would increase Russia’s ability to continue the war in Ukraine and the risk of destabilisation in East Asia.
