Hey there, globe-trotters! 🌍 Russian President Vladimir Putin is packing his bags for a whirlwind tour this week, hitting up the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and Vietnam. 🚀
According to the Kremlin press service, Putin will kick off his trip in the DPRK on Tuesday and Wednesday for a friendly state visit. This marks a significant moment since it's his first trip to Pyongyang since July 2000—talk about a blast from the past! 🕰️
What's the buzz? Well, the DPRK's top leader, Kim Jong Un, swung by Russia in September 2023 at Putin's invitation.
