Russian President Vladimir Putin's plane touched down in Pyongyang, North Korea, on Tuesday as he seeks to reaffirm partnership with North Korea in a growing anti-Western bloc.
"Pyongyang has always been our committed and like-minded supporter, ready to confront the ambition of the collective West to prevent the emergence of a multipolar world order based on justice, mutual respect for sovereignty and consideration of each other’s interests," Putin wrote in an op-ed published Tuesday in North Korean state newspapers.

In the op-ed, Putin emphasized the fact that North Korean history and geopolitics are inexorably linked to Russia and the regional communist bloc that formed in the 20th century.
