Russian President Vladimir Putin last met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in 2019 in Vladivostok. The Kremlin confirmed Monday that Kim and Putin will meet again this week, also in Vladivostok.
MOSCOW — The Kremlin is confirming a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will take place in Russia's Far East"in the coming days."U.S. officials last week were the first to say the meeting would take place. Officials said it would be held against the backdrop of an annual economic forum in the Russian Pacific port city of Vladivostok, eight time zones east of Moscow.
Meanwhile, South Korean media reported that the reclusive Kim had departed for the Russian border aboard his private armored train. Kim's visit will mark his first trip outside North Korea since the start of the pandemic. Kim last met Putin in 2019, also in Vladivostok. The gathering of the two leaders comes amid U.S. claims that Putin is eager to secure additional North Korean arms for Russia's grinding war in Ukraine — perhaps in exchange for food aid or technological support.Copyright 2023 NPR.
