Russian authorities, wary of the threat posed by Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) drone attacks, significantly scaled down the military parade held on May 9. During this period, the anticipated visit to Russia by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un did not take place.



Foreign Minister Choe previously met with TASS President Drey Kondrashov during his visit to Pyongyang in March. At that time, Foreign Minister Choe evaluated the planned deployment of North Korean troops to Russia’s Kursk region in October 2024 as an exemplary case of implementing the 'Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty' between the two countries.
