Russia’s Security Council Chief Sergei Shoigu has arrived in North Korea, marking a significant visit that underscores the deepening ties between Moscow and Pyongyang amid ongoing global geopolitical shifts.
Shoigu’s arrival comes at a time of heightened military and diplomatic engagement between the two countries, with both nations facing increasing isolation from the West.
The visit, which was officially confirmed by Russian state media, is expected to include high-level discussions with North Korean officials on defense cooperation, regional security, and strategic alignment.
Though details of Shoigu’s itinerary remain limited, analysts suggest that the trip could signal a potential expansion of military and technological collaboration, as well as broader political coordination in response to Western sanctions and pressure.

North Korea has recently intensified its missile testing and military rhetoric, while Russia continues its war in Ukraine and seeks allies beyond its traditional sphere of influence. The convergence of interests between the two nations — both heavily sanctioned and critical of Western influence — is drawing increased attention from international observers.
