Putin, who arrived before dawn, is on his first trip to the North Korean capital in 24 years
SEOUL – North Korea n leader Kim Jong Un embraced Russia n Vladimir Putin on his arrival at Pyongyang's airport on Wednesday, and the two leaders shared their "pent-up inmost thoughts" and agreed to develop their nations' relations, North Korea n state media said.
Russia has used its warming ties with North Korea to needle Washington, while heavily sanctioned North Korea has won political backing and promises of economic support and trade from Moscow. "Passing through charmingly lit streets of Pyongyang at night, the top leaders exchanged their pent-up inmost thoughts and opened their minds to more surely develop the DPRK-Russia relations," KCNA reported, using the initials of North Korea's official name.
In a signal that Russia, a veto-wielding member of the UN Security Council, is reassessing its approach to North Korea, Putin praised Pyongyang ahead of his arrival for resisting what he said was US economic pressure, blackmail and threats.
