An important event in strengthening cooperation between the Russian Federation and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in the law enforcement sphere was the working meeting between the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Police General Vladimir Kolokoltsev and the Minister of Public Security of the DPRK, Colonel General Pan Du Sob, which took place at the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation on September 2, 2025.

«The traditions of friendship and cooperation between our peoples, laid down by several previous generations, today form the basis for the development of good-neighborly relations between Russia and the DPRK», - noted Vladimir Kolokoltsev. He stressed that in modern conditions, when the world is witnessing a revival of revanchist sentiments, preserving the historical memory of the feat of the Soviet and Korean peoples in the fight against Nazism during World War II is of the utmost importance.

According to the parties, a key role in the development of mutually beneficial cooperation between Russia and the DPRK is played by joint resolution of national security issues. The Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between the Russian Federation and the DPRK, signed by the leaders of both countries in June 2024 in Pyongyang, made it possible to achieve important practical results, including in the law enforcement sphere.

The meeting resulted in the heads of delegations signing an interdepartmental cooperation agreement, which should facilitate the transition to a qualitatively new level of development of relations between Russia and North Korea.

After the negotiations, a festive concert was held. Accompanied by the Central Concert Orchestra of the Russian Police under the direction of the artistic director and chief conductor, Honored Artist of Russia, Police Colonel Felix Aranovsky, songs of the war years, works by Soviet and Korean composers, Russian folk songs, and modern patriotic compositions were performed.

The soloist of the Academic Order "For Merit in Culture and Art" song and dance ensemble of the troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation, Honored Artist of the Republic of Ingushetia Grigory Yakovlev performed the following works: a march-song about the commander Kim Il Sung (in Korean) and the song "Russia and Korea: Friendship Forever" (music by A. Evsyukov, lyrics by A. Novozhilova).

The concert also featured People's Artist of Russia Anita Tsoi, soloists of the Central Concert Orchestra of the Russian Police Ksenia Dezhneva, Alexey Baranyuk and Vladislav Kosarev.

The ensemble performed in the capital of Chuvashia

After a triumphant performance in Nizhny Novgorod, the Academic Order of Merit for Culture and Art of the Song and Dance Ensemble of the National Guard of the Russian Federation arrived in Cheboksary, the capital of the Republic of Chuvashia. Cheboksary is an ancient Volga city that celebrated its 550th birthday in 2025. From 1708 to 1920 Cheboksary was a county town of Kazan province, and in 1925 acquired the status of the capital of the Republic of Chuvashia. The city has been repeatedly recognized as one of the most well‑developed in Russia. Today it is the administrative, industrial, scientific, and cultural center of Chuvashia. The work of the Academic Order “For Merit in Culture and Art” Song and Dance Ensemble of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation, under the direction of the artistic director and chief conductor, People’s Artist of Russia, Hero of Labour of Russia, Major General Viktor Eliseev, is well known to the residents of Cheboksary. The renowned military ensemble has performed many times in the capital of Chuvashia. On the stage of the Republican Center for Folk Art “DK Traktorostroiteley” on September 3, 2026, the Ensemble’s collective presented a new concert program, prepared for the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Federal Service of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation and the 210th anniversary of the law enforcement troops. The packed hall was filled with city residents, labor veterans, participants in the special military operation, Rosgvardia employees, and members of their families. Among the honoured guests of the event were the Head of the Chuvash Republic, Oleg Nikolaev, members of the Government of the Chuvash Republic, and representatives of public organizations.

The ensemble gave a concert in Nizhny Novgorod

As part of the tour by the Academic Order “For Merit in Culture and Art” Song and Dance Ensemble of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation, under the direction of the artistic director and chief conductor, People’s Artist of Russia, Hero of Labour of Russia, Major General Viktor Eliseev, concerts were successfully held in Uglich and Kostroma in late August 2026. On the first day of September, the ensemble performed for the residents and guests of Nizhny Novgorod. The residents of Nizhny Novgorod carefully preserve the historical memory of the city’s heroic past — the people’s militia led by Minin and Pozharsky in 1612, the militia of 1812, and the heroic labour efforts of the townspeople during the Great Patriotic War. Thanks to its favourable geographical location — at the confluence of the Volga and Oka rivers — Nizhny Novgorod became the country’s main trading hub as early as the 19th century, a “bridge” between Europe and Asia. The city’s residents are proud of the names of their great compatriots – the inventor Ivan Kulibin, the writer Maxim Gorky, the mathematician Nikolai Lobachevsky, the pilots Valery Chkalov and Pyotr Nesterov, the actor Evgeny Evstigneev, and many others. And Nizhny Novgorod is also called the capital of sunsets (this brand was officially registered by Rospatent in 2026).
