Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready to hold a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, Moscow's top diplomat said Thursday after holding talks with Kim's special envoy.
Russia confirmed that it is ready for contact with North Korea at various levels, including the highest level, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in response to a question from Yonhap News Agency whether his discussions with the North's special envoy, Choe Ryong-hae, included the possibility of Kim's visit to Russia.
Lavrov also said that the North is ready to return to the six-party nuclear talks without preconditions.
At the start of his meeting with Choe, Lavrov said Choe's visit to Moscow would contribute to creating the conditions for resuming the nuclear talks. Choe said in his opening comments that he hopes Kim and Putin will build a close relationship.
Choe met with Putin on Tuesday and delivered a letter from Kim.
His eight-day trip to Russia suggests that Pyongyang is trying to reach out to Russia for diplomatic and other support amid strained relations with China. Russia has also been at odds with the United States over the situation in Ukraine.
The trip also came as a U.N. General Assembly committee passed a resolution that calls for referring the North to the International Criminal Court for human rights violations. Pyongyang has strongly protested against the resolution.
Lavrov said after meeting Choe that the resolution is "counterproductive."
"We voted against the resolution at the UN General Assembly session," he said. "If our goal is to help all countries fulfil the obligations within the universal documents, aimed at contributing to the respect of human rights and freedoms, a respectful calm professional dialogue is much more in demand."

P!
Time to get his proxy up to speed.
Throw in Venezuela and Iran and the Palestinians and they could make a Bond movie.
Seriously, nothing unites these asshats except they hate civilization.
It is amazing how North Korean like Putin is becoming with his nuttiness and bizarre actions and boasts, but then he was always very similar in his Putin superman poses, with his fake discoveries, his fake fishing and hunting results, his fake activities and performances and master of everything.
Putin will do anything just to spite 0bama and make 0bama look like the feckless P.O.S. that he is.
Any of them has its ways to reach out to low information voters.
One is hunting tigers for show, another peddling race war and entitlement mentality.
I wonder what approach is worse in a long run?
Putin is very much North Korean like and evidently a little insane.
I actually can see certain similarities over time but I really hope it won’t progress. He is still less communist than Gorbachev, and already Gorbachev was closer to Jimmy Carter than Stalin in that department.
North Korea was set up by the Soviets, the KGB recruited and trained Kim Il-Sung as their puppet.
North Korea does to its own people what the Russians did to Ukraine in the 30’s
Gorby did not want the Soviet Union to stop being communist
Putin is nuts though, and more corrupt.
Putin is trying to get you into war.
Mad Vlad thinks Mad Vlad Lenin is a saint and his body is a holy relic.
I meant that Putin is as crazy and fake as his North Korean counterparts.
Putin does all kinds of fake poses and even has fake archaeological discoveries and posed fake events where he poses as an expert in various activities.
Even his pathetic half nude photos are weak, like his fake horse riding.
The half naked, hatless hunter, horseman, fisherman, that never tans or gets his clothes dirty or wet, or shows any sign of sun exposure or of having been standing there longer than it takes to shoot the photo.
and their obviously fake satellite photo’s proving they didn’t shoot down an airliner?
~Gorby did not want the Soviet Union to stop being communist~
Who gives what Gorby has thought? People of the Soviet Republics thought otherwise. And we had one of the greatest American presidents backing us.
~Putin is trying to get you into war.~
I am yet to see it. All I can see is Obama posing as monkey with frag grenade so far.
We have to protect ourselves in view of what was done in Africa and Middle East and in Ukraine. We can’t ignore ChiComs supported by American free traitors expanding into Stans.
If Putin need to play idiot with his PR tricks to win sympathy from local low info crowd let him play or they would vote communist or support any other weird party.
Your Russian nonsense is getting weaker and weaker.
I’m also starting to think you were lying when you claimed to currently be Russian Special Operations.
Who do you read read high resolution satellite photos for in Russia, and who produces them?
~I’m also starting to think you were lying when you claimed to currently be Russian Special Operations.~
I don’t understand what are you talking about, ansel:)
So you are a true and casual liar.
You claimed to be FSB, you also said you read high resolution satellite photos for in Russia, for who?
