PYONGYANG (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 08th September, 2018) North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will not be able to take part in the Eastern Economic Forum in the Russian city of Vladivostok, Valentina Matvienko, the speaker of the Russian Parliament's upper house, said on Saturday.
"Yes, we have discussed the possibility [of Kim's participation in the forum]. But due to his busy, tight schedule in September, and the scheduled inter-Korean negotiations, although he personally would really want to, he won't be able to take part. However, a North Korean representative delegation, comprised of seven people and headed by the minister of external economic relations, will certainly take part," Matvienko said.
The event is scheduled for September 11-13.
