As we told you in our last post, Vladimir Putin has arrived in North Korea for his first
visit in 24 years.
The Russian president’s plane touched down in
Pyongyang around 2.45am local time (6.45pm UK time) after a stopover in Russia’s far
east.
He was reportedly greeted by North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un.
Here’s a quick look at what is expected to take place during his two-day visit…
One of the first events to take place will be one-on-one discussions between the two leaders.
There will also be a gala concert, state reception, honour
guards, document signings, and a statement to the media, Russia’s Interfax news agency quoted Mr Putin’s aide as
saying.
A number of Russian officials have travelled to Pyongyang as well as part of Mr Putin’s delegation, including defence minister Andrei Belousov, foreign minister
Sergei Lavrov and deputy prime minister Alexander Novak.
Ahead of the visit, North Korea appeared to make preparations for a possible military parade in downtown
Pyongyang.
