Kim Jong Un
Ahead of a meeting with President Vladimir Putin, a train carrying North Korean leader Kim Jong Un arrived in Russia on Tuesday.
The train entered the Primorsky region from North Korea, with photographs showing a train with dark green carriages being pulled down a track by a Russian Railways locomotive.
South Korean defence ministry had earlier stated that it believed Kim’s train had reached Russia on Tuesday.
According to Russian media, Kim will see Putin later this week.
Kim’s visit is his first overseas trip in four years.
According to Experts, Moscow would most likely demand artillery shells and antitank missiles from North Korea in exchange for advanced satellite and nuclear-powered submarine technology.
Currently, Putin is attending an annual economic forum in Vladivostok.
Dmitry Peskov, a Kremlin spokesman, told Russian media that the two leaders will address sensitive issues.
“Obviously, as neighbours, our countries also cooperate in sensitive areas that should not be the subject of public disclosure and announcements. This is perfectly normal for neighbouring states”, Peskov continued.
Peskov told the media that the leaders would disregard US warnings over the discussion.
North Korea would pay a price if it supplied Moscow with weaponry for the Ukraine conflict, according to Washington.
“The important thing for us in building our relations with our neighbours, including North Korea, is the interests of our two countries, not Washington’s warnings”, Peskov continued.
