Kim Jong-un reaffirms pledge to deepen co-operation with Russia as Pyongyang marks anniversary of independence from Japan’s colonial rule
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un visits lodgings of evacuees from flood-stricken areas of North Korea, in Pyongyang, on August 15th, 2024. North Korean Central News Agency said more than 13,000 people have been transported by train from flood-hit areas of North Phyongan, Jagang and Ryanggang provinces.
Mr Kim visited a memorial honouring the Korean revolutionary soldiers who fought in resistance to Japan to end the 1910-1945 colonial rule, and the Liberation Tower where Soviet Red Army soldiers are remembered, KCNA said. North Korean state media made no mention of a blueprint for unification announced by South Korean president Yoon Suk-yeol on Thursday, calling for dialogue with Pyongyang and proposing an international conference on human rights in North Korea.
