JAKARTA - North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has arrived in Russia, a source told Reuters on Tuesday, to hold dialogue to discuss a number of matters with President Vladimir Putin.

Leader Kim left Pyongyang for Russia on Sunday in his usual green carriage, state media KCNA reported, accompanied by top military and arms industry officials.

A Russian source familiar with the trip said Leader Kim arrived in Russia on Tuesday morning, leaving his train to meet local officials in Khasan, the main gateway for train travel to the Russian Far East, before continuing his journey, reported by Reuters, September 12.

The arrival of the North Korean leader was also reported on Tuesday by Russian state television Rossiya 1, which showed a train purportedly carrying the North Korean leader, with its distinctive olive green paint scheme, crossing a bridge.

"It will be a full-fledged visit," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

Peskov said the meeting between the leaders of the two countries would take place in the Russian Far East.

"We haven't said (where the talks will take place). In the Far East," Peskov said, adding that the talks would be held between the two delegations as well as in a one-on-one format, followed by an official dinner, as quoted by TASS.

Peskov also said that no press conference was planned regarding the activities of the two countries' leaders.

Additionally, discussions could also include humanitarian aid to North Korea and UN Security Council resolutions imposed against Pyongyang, Russian officials said.

Previously, President Putin arrived in Vladivostok on Monday. He attended the plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum, which runs until Wednesday.

Peskov said Putin's meeting with Kim would take place after the forum. There has been no confirmation whether Kim will attend the economic forum.

It is known that the meeting between Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin this time is in the spotlight, amidst warnings from the United States that Pyongyang should not make arms-related deals with Moscow. Both North Korea and Russia deny any deal and supply of weapons for use in the war in Ukraine.

Leader Kim does not travel abroad often, making only seven trips away from home and crossing the inter-Korean border twice in his 12 years in power. Four of those trips were to North Korea's main political ally, China.
