Russian President Vladimir Putin has arrived in Vladivostok for his first talks with North Korea’s Kim Jong-un.
The North Korean leader arrived on Wednesday by train after crossing the two countries’ short border.
The summit is being held on Russky island near the port city of Vladivostok, in Russia’s far east.
Russia says they will discuss the Korean peninsula’s “nuclear problem”, but Mr Kim is also said to be seeking support after talks with the US failed.
Donald Trump and Mr Kim met in Hanoi earlier this year to discuss North Korea’s nuclear weapons programme.
But the summit – their second – ended without agreement.
