Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in North Korea, marking his first visit to the capital in 24 years. This visit is expected to reshape Russia-North Korea relations, as both nations face international isolation. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un greeted Putin on the tarmac with a hug on the red carpet despite the late hour. The two leaders shook hands, embraced, and conversed beside Putin's plane before travelling together in the same limousine to the Kumsusan State Guest House.
