Details: Asked whether he would recommend North Korea as a holiday destination for Russian tourists, Lavrov replied: “I would.”
Background:
- On 18 October, Lavrov said that North Korea and Russia are united by “historically fraternal ties”.
- Lavrov arrived in the DPRK amid a possible visit by Vladimir Putin to North Korea, which was reported in the media.
- In the West, it is speculated that China and North Korea may be providing military assistance to Russia as it wages war against Ukraine under the slogan of fighting NATO. In particular, The New York Times wrote that Putin wants to receive artillery shells and anti-tank missiles from the DPRK, while Kim Jong Un wants Russia to provide North Korea with “advanced technologies” for satellites and nuclear submarines.

Putler must be even more desperate than I first thought. Grovelling to a country it never even acknowledged in the previous 70 years shows how far mafia land has sunk. Lavrov should also have added, come to NK, see the future of russia under Putin.
“In the West, it is speculated that china and north korea may be providing assistance to russia as it wages war against Ukraine…..
~ Things are way beyond mere speculation, and there isn’t any ‘may be’ about it, they are. Let’s not forget about the ongoing exchanges between the rashists and iran either.
To finally get rid of the ruskies, they should visit NK. The North Koreans eat rats.
