Russia sent a delegation to North Korea less than one month after President Donald Trump’s landmark meeting with Kim Jong Un in Vietnam fell apart.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un may soon make an official visit to Russia, a Russian official who recently led a government delegation to North Korea, announced on Monday.
Melnichenko, a senator from Russia’s Penza region who heads multicultural relations for the Federation Council, Russia’s Senate, participated in the delegation to Pyongyang to strengthen bilateral relations between the two countries. The delegates spent five days in North Korea earlier this month. The delegates reportedly met with North Korea’s ministers for external trade and the vice foreign minister, but they did not meet with Kim.
Russia and North Korea are reportedly discussing the possibility of building a new cross-border bridge between their two countries. There is currently only one bridge connecting Russia and North Korea, which share an 11-mile border. It is unclear how Russia plans to develop new infrastructure projects without violating international sanctions against North Korea.
