The Kremlin says it is working on plans to host North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Moscow.
Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin, said that Mr Putin extended an invitation to Mr Kim last month to visit Russia, and that Moscow is working on the details of where and when that meeting could happen.
Mr Peskov's comments follow a visit to North Korea by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to discuss the country's nuclear disarmament and setting up another meeting between Mr Kim and US President Donald Trump.
North Korea entered talks with the US and South Korea earlier this year, saying it is willing to negotiate away its advancing nuclear arsenal.
Nuclear diplomacy later stalled because of suspicions over how sincere North Korea is about its disarmament pledge.
