Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un officially kicked off a historic summit in Vladivostok, Russia, on Thursday.
Putin met Kim at the entrance to the university building where the summit is being held, standing with a Russian honor guard on a red carpet. After Kim exited his limousine the two exchanged a long, warm handshake. The pair then went inside to begin talks, posing in a pair of white chairs with Russian and North Korean flags behind them as they delivered opening remarks at Far Eastern State University.
Kim, a notoriously nervous flyer, arrived via an armored train in Vladivostok, a port city on the Pacific coast, on Wednesday. Dmitry Peskov, a Kremlin spokesman, said Putin and Kim will discuss questions surrounding North Korea's nuclear ambitions as well as bilateral issues. Kim told a Russian state TV reporter he hoped to advance concrete efforts for ending the conflict on the Korean Peninsula.
