“We’re ready for that, including individual bilateral talks with the Korean leader,” Ushakov told journalists.
Ushakov also confirmed that Kim would attend the World War II Victory parade in Moscow on May 9.
“The invitation to the new Korean leader was delivered and during various meetings with Korean representatives, it was confirmed that Kim Jong Un plans on arriving to Moscow and the organizational formalities are currently underway but are still not completely agreed upon. But we believe that since the promise to come to the event was given, then the promise will be kept,” Ushakov added.
Diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union and North Korea were established in 1948, and the countries were close allies during the Cold War. Relations between the countries waned after the USSR dissolved, but ties improved again in the 2000s.
Russia has invited a number of world leaders to attend the Victory Parade in Moscow in commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany in World War II.
So far, representatives of at least 25 states have agreed to attend the celebration, according to Kremlin Chief of Staff Sergei Ivanov.
A full list of participants is expected to be announced by the end of April.
