Pyongyang is a key ally in Russia\u2019s vision of a multipolar world, the foreign minister said<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong> Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has described North Korea as one of Moscow\u2019s most reliable allies in Asia, citing decades of fraternal and military ties, and praising Pyongyang\u2019s support amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the Territory of Meanings youth forum on Monday, Lavrov named the DPRK as a core partner in what he called the emerging multipolar world order.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a great many partners, like-minded states, and allies,\u201d<\/em> he said. \u201cTogether, we are laying the foundation for a new world order based on sovereignty and civilizational continuity.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cOur closest ally in the West is certainly the Republic of Belarus. In the East, our closest ally is the Democratic People\u2019s Republic of Korea, with which we are linked by decades of fraternal, military ties,\u201d<\/em> Lavrov added.<\/p>\n

\n

We helped our Korean neighbors gain independence; they helped us liberate Kursk Region from Ukrainian neo-Nazis.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Lavrov\u00a0characterized\u00a0North Korea alongside China, India, Turkey, and Iran as \u201cgreat civilizations\u201d<\/em> of Eurasia, which are contributing to what he called the objective and unstoppable formation of a multipolar world.<\/p>\n

\u201cA multipolar world is taking shape,\u201d<\/em> he said. \u201cNo sanctions, no trade wars, no provocations of \u2018hot conflicts\u2019 will stop it. The multipolar world will prevail over this attempt to delay the natural course of history.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

He accused the US and its allies of provoking instability in Northeast Asia, pointing to growing military activity near the Korean Peninsula. Lavrov warned that joint exercises involving the US, South Korea, and Japan increasingly include \u201c<\/em>nuclear components\u201d<\/em><\/em>\u00a0and represent a dangerous escalation.<\/p>\n

He also condemned the expansion of NATO\u2019s presence into the region and dismissed Washington\u2019s \u201cIndo-Pacific\u201d<\/em> strategy as a tool for containing China and isolating Russia. The strategy, he said, undermines regional cooperation and encourages militarization under Western control.<\/p>\n

Russia and North Korea signed a defense pact in June 2024, after which Pyongyang dispatched troops to help expel Ukrainian forces from Russia\u2019s Kursk Region later that year. Russian officials have since announced that thousands of North Korean personnel, including mine clearance experts and military engineers, will be deployed to support post-conflict recovery efforts in the area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
