North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has expressed admiration for the strengthening ties between his country and Russia, particularly after a significant meeting between himself and Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Vostochney Spaceport in September last year. Reports suggest that Putin is poised to visit North Korea for their third summit meeting, with preparations indicating a potential trip next week.
This anticipated visit underscores the deepening military and economic cooperation between the two nations, with North Korea seeking assistance in space technology following recent setbacks. However, neither Russia nor North Korea have officially confirmed the planned trip, which comes amidst separate confrontations with the United States for both countries.
