Russia and the DPRK jointly released strong signals, but China pulled them both into the economy!

North Korea and Russia in early October Signed a memorandum of cooperation in the field of food and energyEconomic cooperation,
On October 4, North Korea's Foreign Minister, Tri Digi, met with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov in Moscow. Strengthen bilateral relations and regional hot issuesIn addition to high-level meetings for an in-depth exchange of views,
The two countries met again on October 6.
Is Russia's new diplomatic dynamics hiding a secret not to say?
Yesterday, Medvedev, chairman of the United Russia Party of Russia and vice chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, will lead a delegation of the United Russia Party to North Korea to attend the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Workers' Party of Korea.
However, this Russian diplomatic interaction has two key points:
First, the occasion is specialThis visit coincides with the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Workers' Party of Korea. North Korea has made a lot of preparations for the celebration, and the atmosphere is very grand, which coincides with the period of building momentum;
The second is the special backgroundAt the moment, Western pressure on Russia continues, while the two countries intensify interaction at this time, clearly releasing signals of adjusting diplomatic strategy and accelerating closer relations.
But this North Korean parade, the public was curious about a few points:
Which countries will participate? who will participate on the Chinese-Russian side?
Let's look at the attendance lineup first:
Russia has been finalized, and Medvedev will lead a team to the DPRK;
while On the Chinese side, it has not yet been announced who will attend.
Let's look at the highlight of the celebration: new weapons are likely to appear!
You know, as early as August 23 (local time), the North Korean Missile General Administration tested Two improved new air defense missiles, tested actual combat performance.
On the big occasion of the party’s 80th anniversary, these new missiles and a batch of new air defense systems are likely to be publicly demonstrated.
As soon as these new equipment are unveiled, not only The “extended deterrence” of South Korea.And behind it lies the deep connection between Russia and North Korea's technical cooperation.
Looking at Kim Jong-un's recent actions, it is simply a "hard-core operation" continuous rotation:
On September 18, he personally directed unmanned weapon tests;
In response to the recent US military deployment in South Korea and its surroundings, North Korea will take additional military measures; if the United States continues to engage in dangerous military expansion regardless of the security concerns of regional countries, North Korea will definitely use more military and technological means to eliminate the threat and stabilize the balance of power.
On October 5, he again boarded the Navy destroyer "Trei Zhang" for inspection.
Therefore, anyone with discerning eyes can see that this military parade is to show North Korea's "hard power" to everyone.
Medvedev's leadership visit to the DPRK was not just a passage, it was actually a true picture of the Russian "alliance" relationship.
In 2024, the two countries signed the Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. One side is attacked, the other side supports each other.“This has been closely watched by the outside world.
What everyone is most concerned about is whether this treaty will go from "paper" to "practice", such as conducting joint military exercises and promoting arms transfers.
What's more, Russia and North Korea already have a foundation for military cooperation, and this visit may go in a more core direction, such as involving Share key technologies and even engage in military production together, this is the real "grouping".
The Russians played the “historic card”.
Just a few days ago (October 1st), there was another intriguing detail-
According to the Russian satellite news agency, North Korean Defence Minister Nuhong IronHe was visiting Russia at the time, and Russian Defense Minister Belousov accompanied him directly to unveil a sculpture called "Allies·North Korean Soldier".
This sculpture is not custom-built, it is specifically built. Commemorating the Korean guerrillas and the Soviet Red Army fighting side by side during World War IIof the past.
Think about it, now that Russia and the DPRK are busy deepening cooperation, this will specially put " The Second World War of Combat Friendship" moved out, and people at once understood:
It is linking the current cooperation and the past "old relationship" together, once again illuminating the attitude of "we are together, together to face the challenge".
On the one hand, it was the black and white words of "mutual support in case of attack" in last year's Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty, and on the other hand, it was the joint unveiling of the sculpture "Allies·Korean Soldiers" and the review of the "combat friendship" of World War II. Russia and North Korea The two chess.In fact, it is " Soft and soft combinationspecifically targeted The deterrence of the United States and South Korea cannot be hidden.
In terms of “hard terms”, The treaty clarifies the security binding between the two parties, which is equivalent to telling the United States and South Korea:
If military operations are carried out on the peninsula, we must weigh the consequences of Russia and North Korea joining forces;
And "remember the old" is to strengthen the "psychological alliance", using the history of joint opposition during the Second World War, to prove that the two countries are not a temporary bond, but a "long-term side by side" base.
This will make it clearer for the US and South Korea that the Russian cooperation is not a short-term speculation, but will continue to deepen the strategic choice, and in the future, military and diplomatic actions against the two countries will only make them more "stir into a rope".
to know, The United States, Japan and South Korea have recently become closer militarily and frequently engage in joint military exercises.In addition, the deployment of missile defense systems will tighten the “military small circle”;
North Korea also has a way to deal with it. By cooperating with Russia, it has directly withstood the pressure of US sanctions, which is equivalent to finding the right "breakthrough."
China's position in this Northeast Asian chess game is very unusual.
Three countries in Russia have been engaged in economic cooperation.the strategic coordination, Not sure with whom to fight, but quietly formed unity.。
This has actually posed a hidden challenge to the Western order.
You have your military alliance, I have my cooperation camp, and the balance of each other is clear.
Little Korean thought.
North Korea's calculations are very clear:
High-profile invitation to dignitaries from Russia, Laos and other countriesIt is hard on South Korea.
For example, the pre-military missile general administration specifically tested a new type of air defense missile, which is said to be aimed at "enemy air threats".
In doing so, we both want to save money for future U.S. and DPRK negotiations, and do not want to disturb the international community too quickly.
while Russia also has its own small goals:
Dealing with North Korea is a key step in its multi-line response to the situation.
Both sides acknowledged this year that North Korea has delivered cannon bombs to Russia and also sent soldiers to participate in the Battle of Kursk, helping the Russian army to improve operational efficiency.
This time Medvedev came, probably to talk about military cooperation, to help Russian military industry withstand the pressure of Western sanctions.
Russia approaches North Korea, and its abacus is quite fine:
In Northeast Asia, a “security hotspot” was launched, forcing the United States to send too many troops to Asia. The pressure on the European battlefield is naturally lessIt is .
Just like during the dialogue between the Russian and North Korean foreign ministers in July 2025, Kim Jong-un directly said, We will support Russia unconditionally.Even Russia is in full solidarity with the measures taken to resolve the Ukrainian issue.
Nor did North Korea:
Aligning with Russia can not only rely on Russia to enhance its international status, but also gain technical benefits.
More importantly, Russia is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. With its open platform, North Korea has an important "backer" if it wants to break its diplomatic isolation.
And the key is that by providing troops and ammunition to Russia, North Korea can exchange for technology such as Su-35, satellite navigation and tactical missile guidance.
At the same time, the Russian government is building. The Rohingya-Hassan Cross Border Road BridgeIt is also an economic breakdown.
International Chain Response
According to Yonhap News Agency, US troops stationed in KoreaOn the 29th, it was confirmed that the air force has officially deployed the MQ-9 "Death God" drone at the North Korean base in North Korea.
Yonhap News Agency also took the opportunity to speculate, saying that this move was to monitor China's activities in the Yellow Sea, and of course it didn't keep an eye on the movements of North Korea and Russia.
In this regard, China has long had a clear stance: the situation on the peninsula is complicated and sensitive, and all parties should converge, do more for peace and stability, and not confuse.
Look again Medvedev's visit to the DPRK this， Ostensibly to attend a celebrationDiplomatic exchanges, It is full of geopolitical considerations.Yes is Strategic cooperation between Russia and North Korea.
This shows that under pressure from the West, Russian-Russian relations are accelerating! military ties are tightened, economically intertwined, and geographically broken together.
This will not only Changes in Russian bilateral relations.The situation in Northeast Asia is complicated. There are more uncertain factors in the game between global powers.
