ABSTRACT

The signing of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement between the Russian Federation and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on June 19, 2024, was a significant event that has a substantial impact not only on bilateral relations between Moscow and Pyongyang, but also on the geopolitical situation in the region as a whole. The treaty is also of strategic importance for correcting Moscow's foreign policy course towards Pyongyang, which in previous decades was characterized by a significant degree of ambiguity and often came into conflict with the national interests of the Russian Federation in the region. This treaty is probably of a transitional nature, aimed at adapting to the transformation of the international order. On the other hand, the text of the agreement sets out specific prospects for expanding and deepening cooperation between the two countries, which can become a significant incentive for the economic development of the DPRK.
