MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 20th August, 2018) Moscow and Pyongyang will consider various options of North Korean leader Kim Jong Uns visit to Russia, Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov said.
On June 4, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov handed over an invitation to Kim to visit Russia, possibly the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF). Later in June, Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed the invitation. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov pointed out that North Korea had not confirmed the visit yet.
Ushakov told the Izvestiya newspaper that Moscow did not expect both North and South Korean leaders to attend the EEF over media reports about their meeting scheduled for the same time.
�The invitation [for Kim] is open. It has been confirmed several times. We will consider various variants of the visit in a working order,� Ushakov said.
The fourth EEF will be held on September 11-13 in the city of Vladivostok in Russia's Far East.
