Russia is looking forward to further strengthening its ties with Pyongyang, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said

North Korea has shown a high level of solidarity with Russia by deploying its forces to help Moscow repel the Ukrainian incursion into Russia's Kursk Region, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.

The long-rumored presence of North Korean forces in the area was officially confirmed earlier in the day during a televised meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the country's chief of the General Staff, Valery Gerasimov.

North Korean forces were deployed into the area under the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement between Moscow and Pyongyang, which came into force last December.

Among other things, the treaty envisions mutual military assistance "by all means available" in the event of an attack, Zakharova noted.

"The solidarity shown by our Korean friends is a manifestation of the high, essentially allied level of our relations. We are confident that our ties will continue to strengthen and develop," Zakharova told the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda.
