Russian President Vladimir Putin held a phone call with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, updating him on planned talks the Russian leader will hold with Donald Trump this week.
North Korea's state news agency KCNA reported the two leaders' call without mentioning the meeting scheduled for Friday between Putin and Trump.
Instead, the report mentioned that Kim and Putin discussed the development of the two countries' ties under a strategic partnership agreement signed last year.
It also reported that Putin expressed appreciation for North Korea's help in liberating the Kursk region in western Russia in the war against Ukraine.
North Korean soldiers fought alongside the Russian military there.
