Kim fulfilled an invitation from Russian President Vladimir Putin, with whom he held official and private talks.

DPRK-Russia relations are going through a period of prosperity, according to the news agency, which summed up the North Korean top leader’s six-day stay in Russia.

In Vladivostok, Kim, who is also a Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of the DPRK, boarded the train that would take him home, KCNA added.

At his first meeting with Putin at the Vostochny Cosmodrome, in the Russian Far East, Kim reiterated that Pyongyang will always stand by Moscow “in the struggle against imperialism.”

He also emphasized that his visit took place at a “special moment” and stressed that relations with Russia were strategic and are his country’s “top priority”.

During Kim’s visit, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted that relations between the two countries included cooperation in sensitive areas, including the military field, but he explained that Moscow and Pyongyang had not signed any agreements in this area and had no plans to do so.
