Talk:North Korea–Russia relations

POV

The entire opening section is unsourced, and appears to be heavily POV - not only in that it presents only the Russian perspective (saying nothing of the North Korean position, and North Korea's approach to its relations with Russia), but it appears also to endorse an official Russian government line, particularly in the opening paragraph:

Russia-North Korea relations are determined by Russia’s serious and legitimate strategic interests in Korea. The fundamental goal of the preservation of peace and stability on the Korean peninsula defines Russia’s policy toward Korea, and by extension its position on any settlement of the North Korean nuclear crisis. Russia stands firmly behind a peaceful resolution of the crisis, achieved through diplomacy and negotiation. (most strongly POV passages bolded by me) Aridd (talk) 15:17, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree. The opening section reads like an official propaganda piece. Metacell (talk) 20:51, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

While I agree it is very pro-Russia, it's impossible to obtain a North Korean perspective unless you happen to know a defector. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.229.132.230 (talk) 13:18, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Exactly! The North Koreans, just like any other people of the world, are welcome to come and correct the information that is wrong. If they believe the intro to this article is not neutral, they may feel free to hang Mr. Kim Jong-un and correct it. Nomad (talk) 02:28, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Pro-North Korean lobby in Russia

I have completely removed the section. The only source wasn't really a source but some words about where approximately the information could be found. I checked and didn't find anything. The pro-North Korean lobby in Russia either doesn't exist or is very well hidden from the public eye. The CPRF does NOT cite North Korea as allies or brothers in arms. They proclaim they are the new type of communists. Please provide reliable sources of information about North Korean lobby in Russia. Nomad (talk) 02:25, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

This cleaning exercise will take a while and will affect most of the article, I'm afraid. The main contributor to this article has been found to have been copy-pasting material into Wikipedia for seven years. --Mkativerata (talk) 20:32, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Cargo jet

Why would an North Korean cargo jet in Vladivostok last October "presumably" be preparation for the summit this month? The source cited says "imminent". Six months later isn't imminent. It's probably unrelated.--Jack Upland (talk) 22:36, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
