The Russian Ambassador to North Korea, Alexander Motsegora, said that Moscow and Pyongyang are communicating on a regular basis.
 
In a recent interview with Russian news agency Itar-Tass, Motsegora said that Russia and North Korea are maintaining high-level talks, including between the top leaders, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un. 
 
Motsegora said that this year will be significant for relations between the two countries, as it marks the 70th anniversary of both Russia’s defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II and Korea’s liberation from Japanese colonial rule.
