Putin To Arrive In North Korea Tuesday, First Visit In 24 Years<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

On Monday the Kremlin has revealed details of\u00a0Russian President Vladimir Putin’s trip to North Korea. Last week South Korea’s\u00a0Yonhap<\/em>\u00a0news agency predicted that Putin could show up in the North Korean capital\u00a0“as early as next week”\u00a0<\/strong>as part of an expected Asian tour that will include Vietnam.<\/p>\n

The Kremlin has now revealed that the Russian leader will fly to Pyonyang on Tuesday and will stay for one night<\/strong>. It will mark the first time Putin has visited the country since the year 2000 when he met with Kim Jong-il.<\/p>\n

Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov, Defense Minister Andrey Belousov, and some other top officials will accompany Putin on the trip.<\/p>\n

A state media announcement<\/a> detailed that “The two sides are expected to sign a number of documents during the visit, according to Ushakov, including a potential comprehensive strategic partnership agreement.”<\/p>\n

“The Russian delegation will also engage in extensive talks with its North Korean counterpart on a number of issues, including bilateral relations, the economy, security, and international cooperation,” RT continued. “Putin is also expected to attend a state concert being held in honor of his visit and hold informal talks with Kim.”<\/p>\n

Last week, Kim said that “meaningful” ties with Russia will\u00a0“further consolidate the eternal milestone”<\/strong>\u00a0in a new era of relations<\/strong>, according to state KCNA. Putin will in essence be returning the favor of a visit, after Kim toured Russia’s far east last year, and reportedly inspected several weapons and space-related sites.<\/p>\n

During that prior trip, Kim had said closer relations with Moscow are his “number one priority” – as both countries find themselves under heavy US-led sanctions.<\/p>\n

The Ukraine war, and accompanying Western punitive sanctions, have resulted in Russia forging closer defense and trade ties with US rival, enemies, and ‘pariahs’ like Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, and China<\/strong>. The US has even accused North Korea is supplying immense amounts of artillery shells and military supplies for Moscow’s war efforts in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Reuters\u00a0previously\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0this week that Putin is\u00a0expected in Vietnam from June 19 to 20<\/strong>. This fresh Kremlin news release confirms that the North Korea trip will take place before that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
