Russia, N Korea fighting for 'new, righteous' world order: Lavrov

SEOUL, Aug 18: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told his North Korean counterpart that their countries were working to establish a "new and righteous world order", after Pyongyang helped Moscow to drive Ukrainian forces from a Russian region last year.

In a message to North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui, Lavrov also reaffirmed Moscow's pledge to boost cooperation in all areas and contribute to regional and international security, North Korea's KCNA news agency said on Tuesday.

North Korea and Russia are continuing to establish a "new and righteous world order on the basis of genuine equality and national interests," KCNA quoted Lavrov as saying in his message.�" REUTERS
