North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will visit Russia and hold a summit with President Vladimir Putin, Pyongyang state media says, after South Korean media reported Kim’s train had departed.
Kim “will soon visit the Russian Federation at the invitation of… Putin,” the North’s official Korean Central News Agency says. “The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un will meet and have a talk with Comrade Putin during the visit.”
