Kim Jong Un sends congratulatory telegram to President Putin on rumored June visit to North Korea

North Korean leader Kim Jung Eun sent a congratulatory telegram to Russian President Putin ahead of Russia's national holiday, Russia Day, which falls on June 12.
On the 11th, the Korean Central News Agency reported that the North Korean ambassador to Russia, Shin Hong Chol, had sent a congratulatory telegram from Kim to President Putin.
Russia Day commemorates the day that the Russian Republic, within the Soviet Union, adopted the Declaration of State Sovereignty on June 12, 1990.
Normally, it is common practice between countries with diplomatic ties to send a congratulatory telegram to the head of state of a country celebrating a national holiday, but the Korean Central News Agency reported on the same day that
The report on the congratulatory telegram was slightly different from previous reports. Until now, North Korean state media has reported every year on the congratulatory telegram sent by Kim Jong Un to President Putin on June 12, the day of "Russia Day."
However, this time, they reported in detail the fact that Kim sent the congratulatory message and the diplomatic route through which the message was conveyed.
This is seen as an attempt to emphasize the closeness of relations between North Korea and Russia, given their close ties.
Putin may visit Pyongyang this month
Some believe that this is also intended to emphasize the importance of the two countries' nuclear program. On the 10th (local time), Russian media Vedomosti reported that President Putin plans to visit North Korea and Vietnam as early as this month.
If Putin visits North Korea, it will be his first visit in 24 years since North Korean leader Kim Jong Il came to power in July 2000.
