Topic Description:

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un boarded his private train on Friday and headed back to Pyongyang after directing some harsh criticism at Washington during his first summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying the U.S. negotiated in “bad faith” when he met with President Donald Trump in Hanoi two months ago. Putin has said Kim needs international security guarantees if he is to end his nuclear programme. Such guarantees would need to be offered within a multinational framework, he added, following talks near Vladivostok in Russia's Far East. Kim praised the summit as a "very meaningful one-on-one exchange". Putin said North Korea's leader was "fairly open" and had "talked freely on all issues that were on the agenda". The meeting followed the breakdown of talks between the US and North Korea in February, when Kim met US President Donald Trump in the Vietnamese capital Hanoi. Those talks reportedly stalled over North Korea's demand for full economic sanctions relief in return for some denuclearisation commitments - a deal the US was not willing to make. On this edition of the big picture we will analyse the Putin-Kim meeting.
