Putin entertained Kim Jong Un before leaving, special visit

The President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, entertained the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, during his visit to Russia.

Putin accompanied Kim Jong Un to the eastern Russian city of Vladivostok at the Territorial Marine Aquarium, and Kim watched white dolphins and other sea animals perform "acrobatic feats," before attending a reception hosted by Alexandr Kozlov, the Russian Minister of Natural Resources and Ecology, and to visit the Arnika Bio-Feed Mill.

Kim visited the Far Eastern Federal University, where he and Putin held their first talks in 2019, and was briefed by its president on the school's education system and future development plan.

He also met North Korean students studying science and technology at the university, KCNA said, learning about their lives there and taking a photo together.

Kim spent two days in Vladivostok inspecting various facilities in the fields of the military, economy, science, education and culture, before saying goodbye at a send-off ceremony at Artyom Station.

North Korea's state-run Voice of Korea radio also reported on Kim's visit to Vladivostok on Monday, saying it "opened a new period of rapid development and strengthening" of bilateral ties, and he thanked Putin and officials other Russians for their hospitality.

The rare summit between Kim and Putin has prompted the United States and South Korea to warn against any arms trade and other military cooperation, as Russia pushes back its invasion of Ukraine and North Korea races to advance its nuclear programs.

Officials in Washington and Seoul have expressed concern that Moscow may seek to buy munitions from the North to shore up its dwindling stockpiles, while Pyongyang receives technological assistance on its spy satellite and missile programs./ CNA
