Russian President Vladimir Putin met North Korea's foreign minister on Sunday and thanked her country for backing his war against Ukraine. Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui's visit has prompted conjecture that she could be organising a further trip to Russia for North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Kim has made Russia a priority in his foreign policy, sending weapons to support the war in Ukraine.
