North Korean supremo, Kim Jong Un, has embarked on a journey to Russia in a special armoured train, initiating a pivotal diplomatic event scheduled with Russian President Vladimir Putin, as verified by recent news sources.

The conversations between the two leaders might focus on a possible trade involving North Korea providing artillery shells and anti-tank missiles in exchange for state-of-the-art technology, food assistance, and other essential commodities from Russia. There’s a prevailing belief among analysts that Kim could be aiming to secure technology that would aid in developing satellites and nuclear-powered submarines during this discussion.

Kim’s voyage to Russia is at the behest of President Putin and signifies a considerable stride in North Korea’s diplomatic engagements. Considering Kim’s seldom trips outside his country, especially following the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, this international excursion is indeed significant.

Geopolitical Implications and Concerns

The development has sparked a dialogue about prospective armament agreements between North Korea and Russia, which might alter the dynamics of the current strife in Ukraine.

The US administration has expressed apprehensions, cautioning North Korea of potential repercussions if it decides to facilitate Russia’s efforts in Ukraine by supplying arms. The anxiety stems from the possibility of these armaments being utilized to compromise Ukraine’s food and heating infrastructures.

Moreover, experts interpret this meeting as a tactical move by Russia to gain leverage against South Korea. Russia aims to deepen support for Ukraine by forging ties with North Korea. It’s worth noting that while South Korea maintains a prominent position in the arms export sector by forging ties with North Korea, internal policies inhibit them from channelling weapons to regions engulfed in active conflicts.

Potential Outcomes and Stakes

The summit’s resolutions might hold the key to the future of military collaboration between North Korea and Russia, potentially influencing the existing conflict scenario in Ukraine. A partnership with Russia might foster progress in North Korea’s nuclear submarine and spy satellite projects.

Kim Jong Un’s distinctive choice for rail travel during international engagements has garnered attention. This preference is attributed to apprehensions regarding aerial assaults and mistrust in the safety of his personal aircraft. Notably, in 2019, he undertook a 60-hour rail journey from Hanoi to Pyongyang after a summit with the then-US President, Donald Trump.

In essence, this summit between Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin highlights the intricate geopolitical intricacies in the region and could bear significant repercussions for the current global conflicts and negotiations.
