NK News: Kim Jong Un heads to Russia: why now, and what to expect?
In April, our Tereza Novotná commented on the first North Korea–Russia summit in eight years for the site NK News.
"I am not too surprised about the summit taking place. In fact, I am more surprised that it took so long for Kim to actually agree to meet with Putin who invited him in May last year."
You can read all Tereza's contributions on the NK News site.
