• Follows recent agreements between Putin and Kim.
• Putin accepted an invitation to visit North Korea.

Lavrov has announced his upcoming visit to Pyongyang next month to further discussions with his North Korean counterpart.

This follows recent agreements between Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un during their summit in Moscow.

Putin had accepted an invitation to visit North Korea after their first face-to-face summit in four years.

The talks held in Russia have sparked concerns in the United States and other countries, as there are worries that Kim might be willing to supply arms to Moscow for its involvement in the Ukraine conflict.

This potential arms exchange could involve technology that would advance North Korea’s military objectives.
