Spurned by Washington, North Korea’s Kim seeks a friend in Putin
Related News
Messrs Putin and Kim, in their first ever face-to-face encounter, smiled broadly and shook hands outside the summit venue, a university campus. “Without question we welcome your efforts to develop dialogue between the Koreas, and to normalise North Korean-U.S. relations,” Mr Putin said. The summit in Vladivostok provides Pyongyang with an opportunity to seek support from a new quarter, Russia, and possible relief from the sanctions hurting its economy.
Mr Putin has a track record of making world leaders wait for him, but on Wednesday the Russian leader arrived at the venue around half an hour before Kim showed up, according to a Reuters reporter at the scene.
