According to him, Russia is closely and fruitfully cooperating with North Korea on the platform of the UN and other multilateral organisations.

Lavrov noted that Moscow always supports Pyongyang at the UN, and also “very much appreciates a similar position in support of the position of the Russian Federation”, including in issues related to SMO.
