History of Relations between China, North Korea, and Russia<\/h2>\n

Russia, North Korea and China have a long shared history, which dates back to the Soviet Union’s post-World War II attempt in enlisting North Korea—then known as Korea—and China into its camp. Following a Nationalist defeat by the Communists in 1949, China and North Korea—which was established in 1948—established diplomatic ties in 1949. Since then, China and North Korea have worked together to build a mutually beneficial alliance. China remains North Korea’s primary ally, while Russia maintains close ties with both China and North Korea.<\/p>\n

China and North Korea developed an alliance when North Korea aligned with the Soviet Union as part of the Sino-Soviet split of the early 1950s. North Korea and the Soviet Union provided economic and military aid to one another over the course of the Cold War. Russia and China established peaceful relations in 1956 and developed a strong relationship which lasted until the collapse of the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n

As a result of their common history, the three countries have a shared understanding of one another’s interests and concerns. In recent years, China and Russia have both increased their efforts to promote cooperation between China and North Korea. In 2013, both countries signed an economic and trade cooperation agreement, which included the creation of a joint development zone on the border of Russia and North Korea. Additionally, both countries have taken steps to increase bilateral trade, especially in the areas of energy and agriculture.<\/p>\n

The three countries also have a number of cultural and educational exchanges taking place. Russian news agencies have reported the establishment of six Russian-language training centers in North Korea, while Chinese and Russian universities also offer exchange program opportunities for students in both countries. Additionally, the two countries have made efforts to organize joint cultural events, and in 2015 Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping met in Beijing to discuss ways of strengthening their relationship.<\/p>\n
