"I am very happy to be in Russia," said leader Kim Jong-un.
Alexander Kozlov, the Russian Minister for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic, who welcomed and met the North Korean leader, expressed hope that Kim Jong-un's visit would leave "warm memories".
In response to the warm welcome, North Korea affirmed that Leader Kim Jong-un's visit to Russia "is not the last. These are just the first steps."
Security measures at Khasan station have been stepped up. Earlier, Kim Jong-un visited the House of Russian-Korean Friendship in Primorsky Territory, also known as "Kim Il Sung's House", built in 1986.
The armored train carrying leader Kim Jong-un runs along the railway line along the border between Russia and North Korea. Currently, the train is on its way to the southern city of Primorsky Territory - Ussuriysk. This distance is 260 km and takes 7 hours to travel.
After stopping in Ussuriysk, the train continues along the Trans-Siberian Railway to the city of Vladivostok. This 70 km journey will take 2 hours.
