North Korea said Russian President Vladimir Putin could visit soon as the two countries deepen ties and seek to establish “a new multi-polarized international order.”
Putin told visiting Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui that he was grateful for the invitation from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, and that he’d make the trip to Pyongyang at an early date, the official Korean Central News Agency reported Sunday. Choe was in Russia from Jan. 15 to 17 to beef up “strategic and tactical cooperation” between the two nations, according to the report.
