Russia and North Korea hold inter-parliamentary exchanges...North Korean delegation visits the Russian Duma on the 13th

A North Korean delegation will visit Russia on the 13th of this month and visit the lower house of the Federal Parliament.

Since the Russia-North Korea summit meeting in September last year, the Russian foreign minister visited North Korea in October, and the North Korean foreign minister visited Russia last month.
Exchanges at various levels are taking place between Russia and North Korea, and the peak of these exchanges is likely to be ``President Putin's visit to North Korea.''
The Kremlin (Russian Presidential Office) says President Putin's visit to North Korea is a "longer-term plan" and will be realized before the presidential election.
