North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui arrived in Moscow on July 18 for an official visit, according to Russian state media.
The Russian state news agency RIA Novosti reported that the Russian Foreign Ministry announced Choe's arrival at the invitation of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
The specific purpose and details of the visit have not been disclosed.
Choe previously visited Moscow in October 2022 and November 2024, where she met with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
North Korea and Russia are developing their relationship into a military alliance, having signed a comprehensive strategic partnership treaty in 2024. North Korea has sent troops to support Russia in its war against Ukraine, particularly assisting in efforts to reclaim the Kursk region, which was occupied following a surprise attack by Ukraine. This has led to an assessment that the strategic alliance between North Korea and Russia has strengthened.
