North Korea confirms Kim-Putin summit in Russia

 

The North Korean state media confirmed that the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will visit Russia for a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

This visit is seen working to build up foreign support for his economic development plans, since the breakdown of the second U.S.-North Korea summit in Hanoi in February.

State media Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said the visit will happen “soon,” but did not elaborate the time or the venue with speculation that the Putin-Kim summit will be held in Vladivostok around April 24-25.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday that Putin and Kim are on track to meet by the end of April.
