MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday has submitted to the Russian State Duma, the lower house of the parliament, a bill to ratify the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty between Russia and North Korea, according to the State Duma’s electronic database.
Putin and Kim signed a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement that aims to serve as a roadmap for future bilateral cooperation in all spheres. The document on comprehensive partnership provides, among other things, for mutual military assistance in case of aggression against one of the participants. The Russian president also denounced the «indefinite restrictions regime» imposed on North Korea by the UN Security Council (UNSC), which includes an arms embargo, as «orchestrated by the US» and called for it to be revised.
