Putin and Kim, in their first face-to-face encounter, smiled broadly and shook hands outside the summit venue, a university campus. They then stood side by side on an escalator, chatting with help from interpreters, as they made their way to an upper floor to begin their talks. Kim, who had arrived in Vladivostok a day earlier on board his armoured train, told Putin the meeting would help strengthen and develop ties between Russia and North Korea, which share a long history of friendship.

For the Kremlin, the summit is a chance to show it is a global diplomatic player, despite efforts by the US and other western states to isolate it.

'Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin get down to business in Russia.' Should be fun for them. They have plenty in common.
