North Korea holds lavish welcome for Belarus president
"The current situation is simply pushing us into each other's arms. Friends may be far away, but they are very loyal, reliable, and respectful."
"They are just demonstrating that they're not isolated and they can have a meeting. There will be no benefit to Belarus from this visit. The same for North Korea."
Kim Jong Un hosted Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko in Pyongyang, highlighting solidarity between two allies of Russia during the Ukraine war. The meeting included a lavish ceremony with military honors and discussions on a friendship treaty to enhance trade. Both nations face international sanctions, with North Korea's nuclear programs and Belarus's human rights abuses contributing to their isolation. Despite this, officials express loyalty and respect for each other, indicating a strengthening partnership amid global pressures.
