Images released by KCNA showed Kim arriving at the train station in the border town of Khasan on Tuesday morning and being greeted by senior officials from Moscow and elsewhere.
He is also shown meeting with Russia’s Natural Resources Minister Alexander Kozlov.
His movements since are unclear but Japan’s Kyodo news agency and South Korean media have reported that he might meet Putin at the Vostochny cosmodrome in eastern Russia.
The trip marks Kim’s first visit to Russia in nearly four years and his first foreign visit after the worldwide public health crisis, according to KCNA, referring to the COVID-19 pandemic.
His visit seeks to put North Korea-Russia relations of friendship and cooperation on a “fresh higher level”, the report said.
