As they meet, Kim says that he wants to review the Korean Peninsula situation with Putin and hopes to strengthen relations with Russia. He says that he expects the summit to be a meaningful one. Meanwhile, Putin says that he is confident that Kim's visit will help develop bilateral ties and that he supports Kim's efforts to normalise relations with the US.
