North Korea, Belarus sign 'friendship' treaty during Lukashenko visit

5 Ways Winemakers Can Leverage North Korea

SEOUL - The leaders of North Korea and Belarus signed a friendship and cooperation treaty after Kim Jong Un gave a lavish welcome to President Alexander Lukashenko on his maiden visit to the East Asian nation.

Besides supporting Russia's war on Ukraine, both nations are under Western sanctions and are accused of gross human rights violations. The two men met in China last year.
In the modern realities of global transformation — at a time when the world's major powers openly ignore and violate the norms of international law — independent countries must cooperate more closely and consolidate their efforts aimed at protecting their sovereignty and improving the well-being of their citizens, Belarusian state news agency Belta quoted Lukashenko as saying.
Earlier, Belta showed Kim and Lukashenko hugging at a lavish welcome program on Wednesday. It involved an artillery salute and goose-stepping soldiers before a large, flag-waving crowd.
Lukashenko visited the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun where Kim's embalmed father and grandfather lie in state to pay his respects. He was flanked by top North Korean officials, the Korean Central News Agency reported.

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
