What’s at stake as Kim Jong Un meets President Putin in Russia?

Al Jazeera  

North Korean leader to meet Russian president with discussions on economy, denuclearisation likely to be on the agenda. Kim Jong Un has arrived in Russia for a summit with President Vladimir Putin, just two months after the North Korean leader’s meeting with US President Donald Trump in Vietnam that ended abruptly. But while Russia fully enforces the sanctions it voted to impose on Pyongyang, it has joined China in calling for loosening the punishment in recognition of steps taken in limiting North Korea’s weapons testing. North Korea Cho Han bum, a senior research fellow at the Korea Institute for National Unification, said Kim had been in a “catch-22” situation ever since the Vietnam summit collapse. Recently, Stephen Biegun, US special envoy for North Korea, visited Russia with its deputy foreign minister and to deliver messages to Russia that Trump administration does not want the phased approach to North Korea’s denuclearisation.” With additional inputs from the Associated Press and Reuters news agency
