- Summary: Russian President Vladimir Putin was welcomed by North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un at a grand ceremony in Pyongyang on Wednesday (June 19) ahead of summit talks where the leaders have pledged to develop their nations' ties. The ceremony was held at Kim Il Sung Square, where crowds of North Koreans, many holding balloons, gathered by the Grand People's Study Hall adorned with giant portraits of Kim and Putin to greet the two leaders. The two leaders then rode to the Kumsusan Palace for summit talks, Russian media said, amid Putin's first trip to the North Korean capital in 24 years, a visit that reshaped decades of Russia-North Korea relations at a time when both countries face international isolation.
