Russia and North Korea plan to sign a five-year military cooperation program covering 2027 to 2031, elevating their relationship to an unprecedented high level.

Foreign media: On April 26, Russian Defense Minister Andrey Belousov held talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Pyongyang, stating that relations between the two countries are at an "unprecedented high level," and revealing that both sides are preparing to sign a five-year military cooperation plan spanning 2027 to 2031, aiming to establish a sustainable long-term military cooperation mechanism.

North Korea's official media did not report on the five-year plan, only mentioning that the two sides discussed issues such as upgrading political and military cooperation. Analysts believe this rare defense agreement between North Korea and Russia could accelerate North Korea's military modernization in multiple aspects, thereby causing concerns among neighboring countries.
