North Korea confirmed Tuesday that leader Kim Jong Un will soon visit Russia to meet with President Vladimir Putin in a summit that comes at a crucial moment for tenuous diplomacy meant to rid the North of its nuclear arsenal.
The North's state-run Korean Central News Agency released a terse, two-sentence statement saying Kim"will soon pay a visit to the Russian Federation," and that he and Putin"will have talks." A date for the meeting was not released, and it wasn't clear if Kim would fly or take his armored train. There are some indications the meeting will be held this week in the far-eastern port of Vladivostok, not too far from Russia's border with the North.
It's not clear how — or even if — Putin will push the stalled nuclear talks along, and the visit may have more to do with each nation's economic interests. Russia is interested in gaining broader access to North Korea's mineral resources, including rare metals. Pyongyang, for its part, covets Russia's electricity supplies and wants to attract Russian investment to modernize its dilapidated industrial plants, railways and other infrastructure.
For a leader often perceived by foreign media as isolated, Kim has had a remarkable string of summits, meeting with the leaders and other senior officials of South Korea, China, Vietnam and Singapore. He has also sent his deputies to Washington and received Trump's lieutenants in Pyongyang as part of nuclear talks.
Joining forces against the USA!!!
WHAT ARE THOSE DEVILS PLANNING(KIM JONG, VLADIMIR PUTIN AND THAT PIG DONALD TRUMP)

The West's unjust sanctions on Russia are pushing a potential friend & ally closer to our real Communist enemies, China & N. Korea.

Good to see.
I wonder if Trump will start another Twitter Tirade over this?
There has always been an alignment of nations before a major war. Even in the Bible it speaks of alignment of nations. Sure looks that way this time too. I feel like Kim Jong Un will have Vladimir Putin's blessings when it comes to N. Korea's nuclear weapons.
every ecology band setting had global economic &problems ) and normalization process( around development!!!
This is news how? Russia and North Korea have been allies for decades.
Getting his orders from the boss just like Trump does.
