This is the first time the leader of the DPRK has embarked on an international journey since 2019. Coincidentally, that last visit was also to Russia.
Kim Jong Un arrived in Russia on Tuesday, with his first stop being the Primorsky Region's Khasan station, where he was welcomed by a Russian delegation.
Primorsky Krai Governor Oleg Kozhemyako said on his Telegram channel that he and Natural Resources Minister Alexander Kozlov held talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un after his arrival in Russia. Kozhemyako noted that a visit of this level is a good message for the most active development of broad relations and direct contacts with colleagues from the DPRK.
The station features a historic landmark - the Korea-Russia Friendship House, established in 1986 to commemorate the first visit of Kim's grandfather - Kim Il Sung - to the then USSR.
