“Russia is a key partner country in the Republic of Korea’s “new northern policy” and a comrade (in efforts) for prosperity and peace in Eurasia. It is necessary to develop relations with Russia as a strategic partner, which became more intense in 2020 due to the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations, and continue to strengthen exchanges and stable cooperation,” Moon said.

He stressed that the goal was to achieve a trade turnover with the Russian Federation of $30 billion and raise the number of mutual trips to a million people, this should open a new "epoch" in relations between the two countries.
