On April 30, 2025, the "Declaration on the Continuity of the Movement of International Solidarity with the DPRK" was signed, restoring the line of succession broken by Boris Yeltsin.

"On April 7, 1993, Rear Admiral Vladimir Tolstikov, together with the Hero pilots of the Soviet Union, re-established the Soviet-Korean Friendship Society as the Russian Society for Friendship and Cultural Cooperation with the DPRK (hereinafter referred to as the Russian Friendship Society). However, due to the peculiarities of Yeltsin's legislation, the line of succession was never properly secured.

On July 17, 2023, at the 2nd International Congress of Solidarity, the historic unification of the Russian Friendship Society and the International Solidarity Group with the DPRK (hereinafter referred to as DPRK ISG) took place. Having become a full member of the DPRK ISG, the Russian Society significantly strengthened its position, receiving a website, regional committees in different regions of Russia and many primary cells in the form of "friendship clubs with the DPRK" in many universities of this country.

Having entered a new stage of development side by side, the DPRK ISG and the Russian Friendship Society, considering their goal to restore historical justice and educate a new generation of activists in the spirit of veterans of public diplomacy, proclaim the continuity of the Soviet-Korean Friendship Society and continue their common history from the date of its foundation - July 16, 1958."

The declaration was signed by the Chairman of the Coordination Committee of the DPRK International Solidarity Group and the Chairman of the Board of the Russian Society of Friendship and Cultural Cooperation with the DPRK.

Thus, on July 16, 2025, the DPRK ISG will celebrate its 67th anniversary.
