North Korean leader Kim Jong-un attended a photo session with participants celebrating the 75th anniversary of the country's founding but stayed away from other events amid reports that he would soon leave for a trip to Russia.

Celebrations on Saturday were packed with dedications of floral baskets to past leaders, banquets, concerts for a visiting Chinese delegation, and a performance by Russian army song and dance ensemble, KCNA news agency reported on Sunday.

"The patriots are the best assets representing the very might of the country ... as the Workers' Party of Korea is ushering in the era of great transformation unprecedented in the history of the country by relying on such people," he said. North Korea's state media have been silent about the trip, first reported by the New York Times citing U.S. officials, which South Korea's intelligence agency said was possible. The Kremlin said it had"nothing to say" on the matter.

North Korea and Russia have denied they were in arms negotiations but the United States last week said such talks are actively advancing and warned it would be a mistake for Kim to supply weapons that Putin can use in Ukraine.
