KimJongUn getting ready for first summit with VladimirPutin
SEOUL - Russia is preparing for North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's first summit with President Vladimir Putin, setting the stage for consultations between the long-time allies after Mr Kim's nuclear talks with the United States broke down.
South Korea's Maeil Business Newspaper reported on Tuesday that Mr Putin and Mr Kim's summit will likely take place on April 24 in Vladivostok, before Mr Putin's April 26-27 visit to Beijing to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping. Maeil did not say where it got its information. Mr Cho told reporters that both men thought the collapsed February summit between Mr Kim and President Donald Trump in Hanoi"was not a failure" and that denuclearisation talks should be pursued, South Korea's Yonhap News reported.
It would be Mr Kim's first visit to Russia since taking power in 2011, as he calls for an end to the sanctions intended to punish North Korea for its nuclear arms programme. The severity of those penalties was a major factor in the collapse of his summit with Mr Trump, who wants Mr Kim to make greater disarmament commitments before receiving economic rewards.
