The political bureau "highly appreciated" that the visit had achieved "the desired results" and brought the relations between the two countries to a "new strategic level" to meet the demand of the "new era" in the geopolitical situation, the statement read.
This was Kim's first visit to Russia since 2019. During the trip last week, the North Korean leader held talks with Putin at the Vostochny spaceport in Russia's Far East. Later that week, Kim met with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and inspected Russian military aircraft.
