Earlier in the day Pyongyang's Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported that Kim Jong Un would visit Russia for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, adding that this would happen "soon."
On Monday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the two leaders would meet at the end of April.
The meeting is expected to take place at Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok, according to media reports. The location has reportedly been chosen by North Korea due to security concerns.
Earlier North Korean leader has expressed his readiness to cooperate with the Russian President in order to reach peach on the Korean Peninsula and to develop bilateral relations.
