Kim Arrives to Russia

Russian president Dmitry Medvedev met with North Korean president Kim Jong-il on Wednesday in the Siberian republic of Buryatia, in a high-rank state visit that has in the center of its topics the resumption as soon as possible of the six-party talks on the Korean nuclear program.
In a statement issued by Kremlin on this visit it is said that the two presidents will not talk only about the six-party talks, which seem to be in progress, and are expected to resume soon, especially since Pyongyang is desperate to put an end to the economic mayhem the Communist country goes through, thus being open to negotiation and compromise.
Medvedev and Kim will speak also about three-way economic projects that would involve North Korea, South Korea and Russia. One of these projects refers to building a pipeline that would transport annually 10 billion cubic meters of gas from Russia to South Korea via North Korea.
Russian foreign ministry already announced before the meeting of the president with Kim that 50,000 tons of wheat would be sent to North Korea in order to help the people in that country go through the foot shortage the country is experiencing right now. The first grain shipment already arrived last Friday, and the last will be delivered until September.
Kim came to the meeting with Medvedev in a limousine and told the Russian president he was happy to meet him again, ten years after their first encounter. Medvedev got reminiscent in turn and said that their first encounter happened in Pyongya
