Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the situation on the Korean Peninsula with North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui and expressed a desire to develop relations with North Korea in all areas, including 'sensitive areas, ' the Kremlin announced on the 17th (local time).
Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin's spokesperson, detailed the previous day's meeting between President Putin and Minister Choe in a briefing. "The conversation primarily focused on bilateral relations, the situation on the Korean Peninsula, and exchanged views on the most pressing international issues, " Peskov said.
He emphasized the focus on developing bilateral relations, saying, "We have repeatedly stated that North Korea is a very important partner for us, and we are willing to repeat it. We want to further develop our relations in all areas, including sensitive ones."
While the Kremlin had announced the meeting between President Putin and Minister Choe, details of their conversation were not disclosed.
Following her meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov earlier that day, Minister Choe visited the Kremlin in the evening to brief President Putin on the meeting's outcomes.
Although it is speculated that President Putin's visit to North Korea might have been discussed, Peskov did not mention anything related to this in his briefing.
Minister Choe, who arrived in Moscow on the 14th, is scheduled to complete her official visit to Russia by the end of the day.

We also need to develop nuclear submarines and equip them with submarine-launched ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads.
ㄴ Funny how Roh Moo-hyun and Moon Jae-in pushed for the development and introduction of nuclear submarines, aircraft carriers, and stealth, but Lee Myung-bak and Yoon Seok-yeol cancelled everything.
Clearly, teams are set now. We need to cut ties with North Korea, China, and Russia for our future.
Poor Putin. The only country he can develop relations with is North Korea???
ㄴ Since when did you start worrying about Russia? The one who helped Yoon Seok-yeol get elected. Now North Korean missiles will develop even more.
The Korean War was initiated by North Korea with Soviet permission.
ㄴ Kids born when the Soviet Union collapsed are already in their mid-30s.
ㄴ That's right, now the second Korean War is inevitable!
Let's do a preemptive strike.
ㄴ A preemptive strike requires permission from the US. It's a complicated process. How can you expect a preemptive strike? Ugh.
If there's a war now, BTS fans from various countries won't stay silent, will they?
