Kim Jong Un Arrives In Russia

NORTH KOREA

Newswires have reported that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has arrived in Russia ahead of an expected meeting with Russian President Putin (expected to take place in Vladivostok). A South Korean official reported that a summit between Kim and Putin may take place tomorrow.

  • The talks between the two leaders form part of the annual Eastern Economic Forum, which kicked off Sunday and runs through to Wednesday.
  • The talks are aimed at strengthening ties between the two countries and mark Kim's first visit outside of North Korea since 2019. A possible weapons deal/support is also in focus, which is likely to draw scrutiny from the US and other countries.
