North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is set to visit Russia for talks this spring or summer.
Russian lawmaker Alexander Bashkin on Monday revealed about Mr Jong’s visit according to RIA news agency.
The exact date of the trip has not been set yet, Mr Bashkin said.
However, it is believed, the visit came after North Korea and US relations went sour after flopped nuclear talks.
The United States last week imposed new sanctions on North Korea over its nuclear weapons programme, the first such steps since a US-North Korean summit collapsed last month.
President Trump undercut his own Treasury Department on Friday with a sudden announcement that he had rolled back newly imposed North Korea sanctions, appearing to overrule national security experts as a favor to Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader.
The move, announced on Twitter, was a remarkable display of dissension within the Trump administration. It created confusion at the highest levels of the federal government, just as the president’s aides were seeking to pressure North Korea into returning to negotiations over dismantling its nuclear weapons program.
