(Patria) - President Vladimir Putin held a telephone conversation with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and informed him about the planned talks that the Russian leader will hold with US President Donald Trump in Alaska this week, the Kremlin announced, Reuters reports.
The North Korean state news agency KCNA later reported on the conversation between the two leaders, without mentioning the meeting scheduled for Friday between Putin and Trump.
Kim and Putin discussed the development of bilateral relations within the framework of the strategic partnership agreement signed last year, "which confirms their will to strengthen cooperation in the future," KCNA said.
Putin expressed gratitude for North Korea's assistance in "liberating" the Kursk region in western Russia in the war against Ukraine and for "the courage, heroism and self-sacrificing spirit shown by the soldiers of the Korean People's Army," it stated.
North Korea has sent more than 10,000 soldiers to support the Russian campaign in western Russia in the conflict in Ukraine and is believed to be planning another deployment, according to an assessment by South Korean intelligence services.
