North Korean leader Kim Jong Un arrived in Russia for his much-anticipated summit Thursday with President Vladimir Putin in the Pacific port city of Vladivostok.
April 24, 2019
The North’s main Rodong Sinmun newspaper published photos of Kim saluting an honor guard and waving to people carrying flowers at Russia’s Hasan train station, hours after he left North Korea. Russian news agency Tass quoted a local official as saying Kim was given flowers, bread and salt. Kremlin adviser Yuri Ushakov told Russian media the summit will focus on North Korea’s nuclear program, noting that Russia will seek to “consolidate the positive trends” stemming from President Donald Trump’s meetings with Kim.
Some experts say Kim could try to bolster his country’s ties with Russia and China. Others say it’s not clear how big of a role Russia can play in efforts to restart the nuclear diplomacy. The summit could allow Putin to try to increase his influence in regional politics and the standoff over North Korea’s nuclear program.
Putin’s adviser added that the Kremlin would try to help “create preconditions and a favorable atmosphere for reaching solid agreements on the problem of the Korean Peninsula,” Ushakov said.
