The two sides [Democratic People's Republic of Korea and Russia] agreed to "promote and enhance friendly relations" in line with the joint declaration of July 19, 2000 and the Russia-DPRK friendship and good neighborly cooperation treaty of February 9, 2000.
Putin and Kim agreed during their talks to promote a Russian- DPRK political dialogue on the Korean issue and international affairs, and discussed many topical international problems, deputy head of the Russian presidential administration Sergei Prikhodko told reporters following the talks.
The two leaders spoke for an independent and peaceful solution to the issue of reunification of the Korean Peninsula, and against "any outside obstacles to this process" as "unacceptable."
...now why do you suppose KGB Putin would want democratic SK to fall under communist NK control, or ally so closely with the ChiComs, or support the Marxist-wannabee Hugo Chavez regime, which of course is still in power, and other Latin American Marxist regimes? Didn’t Russia give up on and condemn communism decades ago? Ha.
