Russia, DPRK deepen education and AI cooperation amid sanctions isolation

Russian Education Minister Kravtsov met DPRK counterpart Ri Yong Chol in Pyongyang to expand bilateral education ties, including Russian-language study and AI exchange. This continues the established pattern of Russia-DPRK cooperation since 2024, but extends it into AI, a sensitive dual-use domain. The move signals deepening state-level alignment as both face international isolation.
