PYONGYANG: North Korea supreme leader Kim Jong Un is looking to revive links with nuclear negotiations with Washington deadlocked and as he seeks a counterbalance to China during his visit to Vladivostok .
Kim is expected to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Vladivostok this week, reportedly on Wednesday and Thursday.
Few details have been released, but the summit — the first between the two neighbors’ leaders since Kim Jong Il met Dmitry Medvedev eight years ago — comes less than two months after the Hanoi meeting between Kim and US President Donald Trump broke up without reaching agreement on the North’s nuclear arsenal.
