Ask what Korea is talking about.

A senior North Korean official and close aide to leader Kim Jong-un arrived in Russia on Saturday with a party and government delegation, the North's state media said Sunday, amid deepening bilateral ties. The visit comes ahead of a trilateral summit involving the United States, China and Russia, which will be held in Shenzhen, China, next week on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit; the much-anticipated meeting will not include Kim Jong-un. Yonhap reports the aide is considered one of Kim's closest confidants, and the visit is likely to involve discussions on further cooperation between Pyongyang and Moscow.
