Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said he would recommend Russian tourists to vacation in North Korea.
The top Russian diplomat visited North Korea, where he held a meeting with his North Korean counterpart Choe Son Hui and then spoke to reporters.
"I would," Lavrov said when asked by a reporter whether he would recommend North Korea as a vacation destination for Russian tourists, Russian media reported.
The foreign ministers of Russia and North Korea met on October 19 in Pyongyang for talks expected to focus on how to boost their military ties, days after the United States accused the North of sending fresh shipments of munitions to Russia to support its war efforts in Ukraine.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov flew to Pyongyang on October 18 for a two-day trip. During a reception speech later in the day, Lavrov said he thanked North Korea for its strong support for Russia's war on Ukraine.
