North Korea welcomes Vladimir Putin for his first visit in over two decades — in photos
Russian President Vladimir Putin received a lavish reception as he arrived in North Korea early Wednesday morning, marking his first visit to the country in 24 years. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un personally greeted him on the tarmac at Pyongyang’s airport, and the capital was adorned with Russian flags and pictures of Putin. During the two-day state visit, Moscow and Pyongyang are set to sign several key agreements, including a comprehensive partnership deal. Meduza shares photos from the occasion.
