PYONGYANG, July 21 (Xinhua) -- Officials of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and Russia have discussed building a peace-keeping mechanism on the Korean Peninsula, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported Saturday.
Russian Vice Foreign Minister Igor Morgulov met with DPRK Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho and held talks with Choe Son Hui and Sin Hong Chol, vice ministers of foreign affairs, said the KCNA.
The two sides had in-depth exchanges of views on DPRK-Russia relations, building a peace-keeping mechanism on the Korean Peninsula and other issues of mutual concern, said the KCNA.
Morgulov left Pyongyang Friday after a three-day visit.
The DPRK and Russia are marking the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations and DPRK official media said earlier this week that the two sides would strengthen their traditional ties.
