North Korea’s Kim, Putin to meet Thursday in Russia’s Far East
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Kremlin adviser says that President Vladimir Putin will meet the North Korean leader in Russia’s Far East on Thursday.
Yuri Ushakov tells Russian news agencies that the much-anticipated talks between Putin and Kim Jong Un will be held in Vladivostok on the Pacific Ocean and will focus on North Korea’s nuclear program.
Local media have reported preparations and strict security measures undertaken in Vladivostok where the Korean leader is expected to arrive by train.
Kim had two summits with US President Donald Trump, but the latest one in Vietnam in February collapsed because North Korea wanted more sanctions relief than the United States was willing to give for the amount of nuclear disarmament.
