In the face of increasing global threats, both nations also agreed to unite in tackling critical issues such as food and energy security, information technology security, climate change, healthcare, and global supply chains. They went on to stress the importance of maintaining strategic cooperation to ensure the prosperity and stability of both nations.

Moreover, Russia and the DPRK outlined their joint commitment to support one another's peaceful policies, underscoring the protection of sovereignty, security, and the right to development, and expressed their alignment in striving for a multipolar global order, promoting equality and justice in international relations.

The nations further reiterated their stance on cybersecurity, advocating for equal rights for states in managing the global Internet network.

The agreement additionally details the nations' cooperation in preserving peace and security, including provisions for mutual assistance in the face of armed hostilities. Should either country face an immediate threat, bilateral consultations will be held to coordinate an adequate response and determine practical measures to neutralize the threat.

The agreement also includes a provision prohibiting both nations from partaking in agreements with third parties that undermine each other's sovereignty or key interests.
