Russian President Vladimir Putin met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at the Cosmodrome Vostochny spaceport in Russia’s Far East on Wednesday, according to a statement from the Kremlin. During the meeting, Putin reportedly offered to assist North Korea in building satellites.

The meeting took place at the Cosmodrome Vostochny, a major spaceport in Russia. It is located in the Amur Oblast, near the Chinese border.

The details of the meeting were not provided, but it is believed that the two leaders discussed various issues of mutual interest. Putin’s offer to help North Korea build satellites suggests a potential collaboration in the field of space technology between the two countries.

The Cosmodrome Vostochny spaceport is one of Russia’s primary launch sites for satellites and manned space missions. Its strategic location near the Pacific Ocean enables easier access to space for both Russian and foreign satellites.

Russia has been actively involved in the field of space exploration and satellite technology for many years. The country has launched numerous satellites and has a strong presence in the international space industry.

North Korea, on the other hand, has made significant advancements in its space program in recent years. The country has successfully launched satellites into orbit, although there have been concerns raised by the international community regarding the possible dual-use nature of their satellite launches.

The meeting between Putin and Kim Jong Un holds potential implications for the future collaboration between Russia and North Korea in the field of space technology. It remains to be seen how this meeting will shape the relationship between the two countries moving forward.
