North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko signed a new cooperation treaty in Pyongyang on Thursday, marking the start of what Minsk described as a “fundamentally new stage” in relations. The agreement was concluded during Mr Lukashenko’s first ever visit to North Korea. The two-day trip began on Wednesday with a state ceremony at Kim Il Sung Square, according to North Korean and Belarusian state media.North Korea and Belarus established relations in 1992 and, three years later, set up a joint trade and economic cooperation committee that was reactivated last year. North Korea maintains an embassy in Belarus, although Minsk doesn’t have one in Pyongyang. Is the world moving multi-polarity ?
