North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko signed a new cooperation treaty in Pyongyang on Thursday, marking the start of what Minsk described as a “fundamentally new stage” in relations.
The agreement was concluded during Mr Lukashenko’s first ever visit to North Korea. The two-day trip began on Wednesday with a state ceremony at Kim Il Sung Square, according to North Korean and Belarusian state media.
