Valentina Matvienko, Chairwoman of the Russian Federation Council, is visiting North Korea.
Many foreign officials have arrived in Pyongyang from abroad on the eve of North Korea’s 70th founding anniversary, Kyodo News confirmed Saturday, amid a deadlock in denuclearization negotiations with the United States.
On the anniversary on Sunday, North Korea is expected to hold its first military parade since leader Kim Jong Un and U.S. President Donald Trump held their historic summit meeting in June in Singapore.
