North Korean leader Kim Jong

Un met Russia's Secretary of the Security Council Sergei Shoigu

on Wednesday, state media KCNA reported.



Kim pledged unconditional support for Russia's position on

Ukraine and other international issues, the report said on

Thursday.



"Kim Jong Un affirmed that the government of the Democratic

People's Republic of Korea will, in the future, too,

unconditionally support the stand of Russia and its foreign

policies," it said, using the North's official name.



North Korea will responsibly observe the articles of the

treaty between the two countries, Kim was quoted as saying.



The two men also discussed strengthening the comprehensive

strategic partnership and mutual cooperation in different

fields.



The treaty was signed during Russian President Vladimir

Putin's visit to Pyongyang last year and a summit with North

Korea's Kim, and includes a mutual defence pact for immediate

military assistance if either faces armed aggression.
