North Korea and Belarus Sign Friendship Treaty to Expand Cooperation
The treaty includes cooperation in diplomacy, agriculture, education, and health as both nations align politically with Moscow against Western influence.
- On Thursday, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed a 'treaty on friendship and cooperation' in Pyongyang, formalizing closer bilateral ties during Lukashenko's first official visit.
- Both nations remain under extensive Western sanctions and have provided support for Russia's war in Ukraine, cementing shared anti-Western alignment built on diplomatic relations formally established in 1992.
- The sides plan to sign about 10 agreements spanning education, culture, and sport, according to Belarusian state news agency Belta, following a lavish welcome ceremony featuring a 21-gun salute.
- Lukashenko hailed the pact as 'fundamental,' declaring relations enter a 'fundamentally new stage' as both leaders expressed solidarity against what they termed 'undue pressure' from the West.
- Deepened cooperation complicates Western efforts to isolate both regimes, positioning them as part of a push for a 'multipolar world' that challenges security arrangements for NATO and Washington.
