It is unclear when Putin and Kim Jong Un will meet, but a meeting at the Vostochny Cosmodrome would be symbolic as Pyonyang seeks help with its satellite programmes.
Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived at Vostochny Cosmodrome, a Russian spaceport some 1,000 kilometres from Vladivostok, Wednesday ahead of a possible meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
It is not yet confirmed whether both leaders will be meeting there as neither Russian nor North Korean officials have given any hint towards where both leaders will convene for the rare meeting.
Vladimir Putin told reporters that he will travel to the Vostochny spaceport for an event but did not give details of what that event would be.
According to Kyodo, Putin was already at the Cosmodrome waiting for Kim’s train to arrive ahead of the summit Wednesday.
