Russian President Vladimir Putin embarked on an epic tour of Asia, marking his first visit to Vietnam since 2017.

The mutual defense pact signed by the two leaders promises support against aggression, sparking interest and watchful eyes from the global community.

In a unique twist, Vladimir Putin and North Korea's Kim Jong Un sealed a pact of mutual aid, pledging support in the face of aggression. The historic agreement showcases the evolving dynamics in Asia and underscores the strategic maneuvers of these influential leaders. As Putin's state visits draw attention, the ramifications of his engagements with North Korea and Vietnam become crucial focal points for global analysis.

In a remarkable turn of events, Kim Jong Un vowed full support for Russia in Ukraine during Putin's visit to Pyongyang, highlighting the depth of their partnership. The bond between the two leaders, coupled with their recent agreements, signals a significant shift in international relations, shaping the geopolitical landscape in unexpected ways.
