North Korean leader Kim Jong Un arrives in Russia

WORLD, Sept. 12 (YPA) – North Korean leader Kim Jong Un arrived in Russia on Tuesday, on his armoured train.

The train carrying Kim crossed into Russia’s Primorsky region from North Korea, with images showing a train with dark green carriages being pulled along a track by a Russian Railways locomotive.

At the same time, a representative of the administration of the border village of Khasan said that the North Korean leader’s train did pass through the Khasan station, but did not specify exactly when this train crossed the border with Russia.

“At the invitation of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, Chairman of State Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, will pay an official visit to the Russian Federation in the coming days,” the Kremlin announced on Monday.

The Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed to Russian media that Kim and Putin would discuss “sensitive” subjects, and the two leaders would ignore US “warnings” over the talks.

On Tuesday morning, the Korean Central News Agency published photos of the North Korean leader’s departure to Russia.
