Russian President Vladimir Putin has officially enacted a treaty solidifying Russia’s strategic partnership with North Korea, which includes a clause for mutual defense, as confirmed by a decree published on Shabbos.
The agreement, which was signed by Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in June following their summit in Pyongyang, stipulates that both countries will support each other in the event of an armed attack.
The Russian upper house approved the treaty earlier this week, following the lower house’s approval last month. On Shabbos, Putin signed a decree formalizing the ratification, which was made available on a government website that details the legislative processes.
