Seoul, Sep 3
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday invited North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to visit Russia again, a Russian report said, as they held a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of a military parade in Beijing.
Kim has visited Russia twice so far, in 2019 and 2023, for talks with Putin.
During the talks Kim also thanked Putin for hailing the North's troops deployed in Russia to aid Moscow's war against Ukraine.
He then vowed to do "everything possible" to help Russia.
The meeting comes amid deepening cooperation between North Korea and Russia in a wide range of areas, which has involved the North's deployment of troops in support of Russia in its war against Ukraine.
Since October last year, North Korea has sent around 13,000 troops and conventional weapons to support Russia's war efforts.
