A Kremlin advisor said the ‘nuclear problem on the Korean peninsula’ would be discussed during the summit.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un arrived in the Russian city of Vladivostok on Wednesday ahead of his summit with Vladimir Putin. Kim crossed the border into Russia by train, according to Reuters.
Kim and Russian President Putin are set to meet for the first time Thursday, but do not plan to sign any agreements or make a joint statement, according to CNN. Kremlin advisor Yuri Ushakov said the “nuclear problem on the Korean Peninsula” would be the main item on the agenda, reported Al Jazeera.
Kim’s trip to Russia comes almost a month after his summit with United States President Donald Trump ended without any agreement because of disputes over US led sanctions on North Korea.
