Preface
The current situation in Russia is tense, and Putin, as the president of Russia, is also trying his best to maintain the country's status.
For the sake of the country's development and stability, on the 17th, the Russian side announced that President Putin would "once again set foot" on the DPRK territory and meet with the supreme leader on the 18th.
In such a situation, it is rare for Russia and North Korea to meet, and the meeting was conducted on the basis of three major issues.
These three issues have a bearing on the direction of future cooperation between Russia and the DPRK, as well as on the interests of Russia and NATO countries.
If the cooperative relationship between North Korea and Russia is deepened, the economic development between the two countries will be faster, which I am afraid the United States does not want to see.
Putin once again set foot on North Korean territory
In 2000, in Pyongyang, North Korea, it was Putin's first meeting as Russian president with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
At that time, there were in-depth discussions on the development cooperation between the two countries, and that meeting also brought great significance to North Korea and Russia.
After 24 years, the Russian side broke the news that President Putin will visit the DPRK again.
After arriving in Pyongyang, North Korea, Putin will make his way to Vietnam, where he will continue to hold talks with allies, and the talks between Russia and North Korea have attracted a lot of media attention.
The period of this visit is also very delicate, and it is precisely after the current leader of the DPRK, Kim Jong-un, visited Russia last September and invited the Russian president to visit the DPRK, Russia's return visit also affirmed the friendly and cooperative relations with the DPRK.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's entourage this time is also in place, fully demonstrating Russia's respect for North Korea's allies.
During the interview, Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will hold an international conversation between Russia and North Korea in Pyongyang, which will focus on three core issues: security, economy, and energy.
These three core issues will also have a profound impact on the international cooperation between the two sides.
Three main points
The conversation between the Russian president and the North Korean president will certainly attract much attention, and the content of the three core issues is also subject to speculation from many parties.
The top leaders of the two countries will discuss the issue of national security, and since North Korea has been sanctioned by Western countries and the United States for many years, and its situation is somewhat similar to that of Russia, the two sides may be able to find a better way out by holding joint discussions.
The United States has always suspected that North Korea was sending military weapons and materials to Russia in the Russian-Ukrainian war and secretly assisting Russia in the fight against Ukraine, so this time Putin did not pretend, and directly stated that the two countries should discuss national security issues, which may be like a warning to Western countries not to move, because Russia is not yet isolated.
The second major issue is the economic problems of the two countries, and we know that Russia's national finances have been struggling due to military spending in the past two years, and this time it is very important to mention the economic issues with the North Korean leader at the meeting.
For example, Russia is an energy and industrial powerhouse that can provide more technical and material support to North Korea, while North Korea's agriculture and light industry are slightly superior to Russia's, which is a bright spot for the two countries to become trading partners.
The two countries have also strengthened cooperation in the field of infrastructure construction, the DPRK has a great demand for infrastructure construction, while Russia's infrastructure technology is first-class, with rich construction experience and technical personnel, the two countries can carry out discussions and in-depth cooperation in the field of infrastructure construction.
By improving the DPRK's infrastructure and personnel training, and technological innovation, Russia can also accelerate its own economic development and establish more in-depth friendly and cooperative relations.
The third core issue is the energy field of the two countries, and it is not uncommon for Putin to discuss the energy field with other countries, because Russia, as an energy power, has certain interests for other countries.
Putin's visit to the DPRK again and the choice of the energy field for discussion also reflect Russia's desire to have more in-depth cooperation and exchanges with the DPRK in this field, and reflect the common interest and more far-reaching plan of Russia and the DPRK in energy cooperation.
Russia's abundant energy resources can meet North Korea's shortcomings in energy extraction, and also provide Russia with more market opportunities in the international community.
Although we always advocate that self-reliance and self-improvement are the way out for national development, the country is not an island, and it is necessary to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with other countries in order to make the country develop better, which is also the reason why Russia visited the DPRK this time.
Through these three core issues, the two sides will strengthen relevant cooperation and exchanges, and Russia and the DPRK will achieve a mutually beneficial and win-win situation, injecting more vitality into the economic development of the two countries.
What the United States does not want to see happens
The latest news on the Russian-Ukrainian war is that Russian President Vladimir Putin negotiated with the Ukrainian president and senior personnel, if the Ukrainian army fully withdraws from Donetsk and other four strategic areas, Russia will immediately cease fire, and the two sides can negotiate, but Ukraine is not willing to accept Putin's demands, so the negotiations ended in failure.
Putin added here that he hopes that Ukraine can make the right decision on its own, and behind it is also telling Ukraine not to be a lackey of the United States and NATO.
In today's international situation, Russia is in a disadvantageous position, it is constantly sanctioned by many Western countries, and this kind of sanctions is not only countries that support Russia's approach, but also some neutral countries are implicated and sanctioned.
For example, cooperation between China and Russia has been obstructed by Western countries, and the United States has never stopped imposing sanctions on cooperation and exchanges between China and Russia, and hegemonic countries have tried to make other countries compromise and stand on the United States through some means of pressure.
Putin's visit to the DPRK has undoubtedly become the focus of international attention, and Russia's movements have already attracted much attention, but now the parliament of Russia and the DPRK is being watched by Western countries.
For example, China welcomed Putin's visit, while the United States and its allies were very worried.
As for the military cooperation between Russia and North Korea, it is bound to upset some balance, and the United States is also worried that they will threaten its military position in the Asia-Pacific region, so it is worried and uneasy about Putin's visit.
epilogue
The United States and other allies are panicking about Russia's position in the Asia-Pacific region, and they are increasingly curious about whether the Russian-North Korean meeting will go smoothly, and if the cooperation is pleasant, then the next use of Ukraine to attack Russia will be hindered.
However, regardless of whether Russia and the DPRK can deepen friendly exchanges, peaceful development is still the main theme of development in the current era, and all countries should use peaceful words to resolve different international disputes.
However, in a word, there are no eternal enemies in the international arena, only eternal interests, so cooperation between Russia and the DPRK depends on how the interests of the two sides are negotiated.
