North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will likely travel to Russia to meet Vladimir Putin on September 9, Daily Express US has been told.<\/p>\n
Mykola Volkivskyi, a former adviser to Ukraine’s government, believes the pair will meet as the G20 summit kicks off in New Delhi, India on the evening of September 9. The date also marks the creation of the Democratic People\u2019s Republic of Korea, more widely known as North Korea.<\/p>\n
Kim is traveling by armored train to meet his Russian counterpart in the eastern Russian port city of Vladivostok.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that Kim Jong-un’s armored train will arrive at the Hasan border railway station on the evening of September 9, the day of the G20 Summit in Delhi,\u201d Mr. Volkivskyi told\u00a0Daily Express US.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis visit may last until September 12 or 13. [Then], he will be greeted in Pyongyang as a hero and winner, regardless of the outcome of the talks.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the topics will also be the provision of humanitarian food by Russia to the people of North Korea.<\/p>\n \u201cPutin may face a difficult negotiation process, because Pyongyang may ask a very high price for its weapons which Russia is so eager to obtain.\u201d\u200c<\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong> <\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

The two nations have little to lose as they are already largely under international sanctions.<\/p>\n Follow our social media accounts here on<\/strong>\u00a0http:\/\/facebook.com\/ExpressUSNews<\/strong>\u00a0and<\/strong>\u00a0ExpressUSNews<\/strong><\/p>\n Source: Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" North Korea visited by Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will likely travel to Russia to meet Vladimir Putin on September […]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n
