North Korea's Foreign Minister Visits Russia for Talks

North Korea's Foreign Minister Visits Russia for Talks

The foreign minister of North Korea, Choe Son Hui, went to Russia to talk with their foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov.

This trip is important because North Korea and Russia have been working together more closely, especially in military matters.

North Korea has been helping Russia in its war in Ukraine by giving them weapons and soldiers.

In return, Russia has been giving North Korea money, technology, and other supplies.

Some countries, like South Korea and the European Union, are not happy about this partnership.

But North Korea says they have the right to work with Russia as they choose.
