Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko visited Pyongyang for the first time, where he met with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. During the visit, the two leaders signed a treaty of friendship and cooperation. Lukashenko presented Kim with an automatic rifle, and when handing it over, remarked humorously that the rifle might come in handy "if enemies were to appear." hlavnespravy.sk ↗ hnonline.sk ↗
The meeting had all the hallmarks of a grand state ceremony. The guest was given a motorcycle escort and ceremonial music upon his arrival in the capital. According to available reports, the two leaders behaved like close friends. The visit is considered a historic event in bilateral relations between Belarus and North Korea, strengthening the alliance of sanctioned regimes. Spiegel.de ↗
The treaty of friendship and cooperation represents another step in the rapprochement between Minsk and Pyongyang. This visit also symbolizes the strengthening of the so-called axis of sanctioned regimes encompassing Moscow, Minsk, and Pyongyang. Lukashenko is the second world leader (after the Russian president) to visit North Korea in recent years, underscoring the strategic significance of this visit. SITA ↗
