PYONGYANG, March 31. /TASS/. North Korea remains committed to the strategic partnership agreement with Russia signed by the leaders of the two countries in 2024 and struggle for a multipolar world, Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly (parliament) of North Korea Jo Yong-won told TASS Director General Andrey Kondrashov.
"The Workers' Party of Korea [WPK] and the government of the DPRK will remain faithful to the spirit and obligations under the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement with Russia, and will actively promote the formation of a multipolar world based on independence and justice," Jo Yong-won said.
He informed Kondrashov about the results of the IX Congress of the WPK held in February and the first meeting of the 15th convocation of the National Assembly held in March.
