Sunday's unveiling of a memorial museum in Pyongyang for North Korean soldiers killed in the war is also a move by the two countries to be in lockstep over their anti-West stance, according to observers. The partnership stemmed from their converging needs – Russia's demand for manpower and materiel, and North Korea's pursuit of military and technological advancement under the cover of wartime cooperation, they said. Towards this end, Moscow has offered to sign a new five-year bilateral military cooperation plan with Pyongyang. "No matter how the rules of war change and whenever and wherever a crisis occurs, we should be strengthened into a sincere, dedicated and powerful bulwark with unified power," Kim was quoted as saying by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
