North Korea and Belarus are reportedly close to signing a visa-waiver agreement for their citizens, according to Belarusian state media. Belarusian Foreign Minister Maxim Ryzhenkov stated that the deal is expected to be finalized "in the very near future" after discussions with his North Korean counterpart, Choe Son-hui.
During a meeting in March in Pyongyang, Lukashenko and Kim Jong-un signed an agreement on friendship and cooperation. The reported visa waiver is believed to be a follow-up to that summit. At the time of the summit, Lukashenko received an assault rifle from Kim as a gift.
Belarusian Prime Minister, Alyaksandr Lukashenko, is quoted as saying that only some technical details remain to be worked out in the visa-waiver agreement.
