MOSCOW, June 23. /TASS/. Russia believes it is possible to sign an agreement with North Korea by the year-end on preventing dangerous military activity, the speaker of Russia’s lower house of parliament, the State Duma, said on Tuesday.
At the meeting with the chairman of North Korea’s Supreme People’s Assembly, Choe Thae-bok, Sergey Naryshkin said Russia hopes to intensify the effort on improving and updating the legal basis of bilateral relations.
"We believe it is possible to sign by the end of the year two important documents: a treaty on mutual legal aid on criminal cases and an agreement on preventing dangerous military activity," he said.
Naryshkin praised the "high readiness" of these two documents, stressing that "they may be signed already by the end of the year."
Russia expects in the near future to complete the effort on renewing an agreement with North Korea on mutual exchanges. "This is also an important document that would contribute to a further increase in bilateral exchanges between the two countries," he said.
