The planned summit allows Vladimir Putin to project Moscow’s influence and gives Kim more possible international options.
By Matthew Bodner April 18 at 9:14 AM MOSCOW — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un plans to meet President Vladimir Putin in Russia later this month, the Kremlin said Thursday, as Moscow looks to gain a greater role in the international outreach with Pyongyang.
Kim wants international sanctions eased as part of negotiations with the Trump administration over possibly rolling back North Korea’s nuclear program. In a short statement Thursday, the Kremlin said Putin invited Kim and that the North Korean leader will meet with him in the second half of April. No specific date was announced.Russian news reports suggest the meeting will take place in Vladivostok on Russia’s Pacific coast, as Putin makes his way to a summit in Beijing.
Russian outreach ramped up in May 2018 with the visit of Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to Pyongyang in the first high-level visit by a Russian official to North Korea since 2009. Over the past month, the Russian parliament has sent two delegations and Russian diplomats have been in daily consultations with North Korean officials.
