South Korea reported that Moscow will supply DPRK with 700 thousand tons of rice
According to him, last week the National Intelligence Service of South Korea provided information to Congress about the agreement between the Russian Federation and North Korea. Moscow reportedly offered North Korea good compensation in the form of rice supplies for Russia's support.
The vice minister noted that North Korea officially produces about 4 million tons of grain per year. However, to meet the needs of the population, the country needs at least 5 million tons of grain per year.
Earlier, the deputy said that Moscow had delivered 50 to 100 thousand tons of rice to the republic. This means that as soon as the terms of the deal are met, grain supplies to North Korea will immediately increase several times.
Earlier, the US announced that North Korea had sent 8,000 troops to the Kursk region. North Korea also has no doubts about Russia's victory in the Northern Military District.
