TOKYO, October 28. /TASS/. Relations between Pyongyang and Moscow don’t target any third countries, North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui said in a statement, the Korean Central News Agency reported.

"The DPRK-Russia relations, aimed at promoting the well-being of the peoples of the two countries, do not target the third country, but if peace and security in the region are endangered due to the persistent moves of the US, Japan and ‘ROK’ for instability, they will act as a powerful strategic stability element to contain such situation," the statement said.

"It is the steadfast will and stand of the DPRK to comprehensively expand and develop the bilateral relations with the Russian Federation in the idea of independence, peace and friendship and thus build stable, future-oriented and eternal DPRK-Russia relationship in the new era, no matter what others may say," the minister stated.
