The agreement covers the years 2027–2031, said Moscow's Defense Minister Andrei Belousov during a visit to Pyongyang.
North Korea has sent thousands of soldiers as well as missiles and ammunition to support Russia's offensive war against Ukraine, in exchange for, among other things, economic support and military technology that helps North Korea circumvent harsh sanctions.
In connection with the visit, a memorial monument to soldiers killed fighting for Russia will be inaugurated.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said he wants to thank the soldiers "who took part in combat operations in the Kursk region - and honor the fallen heroes," according to Russian state news agency Tass.
