The summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin, which was held on 25 April in Vladivostok, Russia, was “friendly” and has led to an agreement between the two leaders to strengthen their strategic partnership for preserving regional peace and security, the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reports.
Kim has invited Putin to pay a return visit to DPRK after the summit in Vladivostok, AFP reports, citing KCNA.
After the Summit, Putin called Kim a “very open person”, saying that they had detailed, open discussion of sanctions, the US and denuclearisation. Kim, in turn, thanked Putin Thursday for a substantive tete-a-tete dialogue on issues of mutual interest and expressed hope that the negotiations would continue in a similarly constructive way.
