Neither Moscow nor Pyongyang has confirmed an exact schedule for the visit. The Kremlin said simply that talks are planned between the North Korean delegation and Russia.

On Monday, the Kremlin said North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will visit Russia in the next few days at the invitation of President Vladimir Putin.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russian President Putin first met in April 2019 in Vladivostok which was also Mr. Kim’s first visit to Russia.
