Russian President Vladimir Putin will sit down with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Russia’s Far East later on Wednesday to discuss a range of issues of mutual interest.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters earlier that the two leaders would discuss bilateral cooperation in various areas, as well as regional and international cooperation. Moreover, Peskov stated Putin and Kim would also discuss “sensitive” issues, which he stressed “should not become the subject of any public disclosure or announcement”.
This is the North Korean leader’s first trip abroad in four years and his second trip to Russia. Kim last visited the country in 2019.
