Both countries seek \u201cto form a just multipolar world order,\u201d it noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The diplomats also discussed bilateral ties \u201cbased on the principles of respect for sovereignty, equality and mutual benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belarusian side has been seeking high-level contacts with North Korea for the past two years, but Pyongyang proceeded slowly, noting that Minsk must \u201cclarify its intention correctly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ry\u017eanko\u016d visited North Korea in July 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five months ago, a Belarusian government delegation participated in the third meeting of the bilateral intergovernmental commission on trade and economic cooperation in North Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two months ago, Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka met Kim Jong Un in Beijing during a military parade. The Belarusian ruler reportedly received an invitation to visit North Korea during that meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
