Iran Press/ Europe: The pair had not met since 2019.
They hailed one another, lauding their “comradeship” as Western sanctions against both of their nations persist.
The two leaders met at Russia’s most important satellite launch center, the Vostochny Cosmodrome. North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles into the sea off its east coast just an hour before Kim met Putin.
Asked whether the two leaders would talk about obtaining supplies from North Korea, Putin said they would discuss “all issues.”
Washington and its allies believe defense cooperation was the priority of the meeting; speculation about military cooperation grew after Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu visited North Korea in July.
