Putin met with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko, who suggested Minsk could join Moscow’s efforts to revive an alliance with Pyongyang following a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, APA reports citing Al Jazeera.
“I would like to inform you about the discussion on the situation in the region, which was quite important, and also to touch on the most acute issue, the situation in Ukraine,” Putin said at the start of the meeting.
President Alexander Lukashenko responded by saying that “we could think about three-way cooperation,” adding that “I think a bit of work could be found for Belarus to do there as well.”
Meanwhile, the North Korean leader continued his trip by visiting an aircraft factory in Komsomolsk-on-Amur to see the latest Russian fighter jets.
On Saturday, he is scheduled to arrive in Vladivostok, where he will see Russian Pacific Fleet warships and visit a university.
