March 27, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka invited North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to visit Belarus following talks in Pyongyang, Natalla Ejsmant, Belarusian ruler\u2019s spokeswoman, has told Russia\u2019s TASS<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s two-day visit to North Korea \u201cexceeded all expectations,\u201d she said, adding that Minsk would \u201calways be happy\u201d to host Kim Jong Un.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belarusian politician visited North Korea on March 25 and 26. Yesterday, \u0141uka\u0161enka and Kim Jong Un signed a bilateral treaty on friendship and cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The document reportedly sets out the goals and defines the institutional framework for cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

North Korea is a totalitarian state under a strict cult of personality and also under UN Security Council sanctions over its nuclear program. Since its foundation in 1948, the power has been handed over from father to son \u2013 from Kim Il Sung to Kim Jong Il to Kim Jong Un.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minsk has sought top-level contacts with North Korea for the last two years. Earlier this year, \u0141uka\u0161enka congratulated Kim Jong Un on his re-election as leader of the Workers\u2019 Party of Korea (WPK).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last September, the Belarusian ruler met Kim in Beijing, where both attended a military parade, during which the North Korean leader extended the invitation for the visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarusian Foreign Minister Maksim Ry\u017eanko\u016d visited North Korea in July 2024 after 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

Last year, Kim congratulated \u0141uka\u0161enka on extending his 30-year-long rule in Belarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
