MOSCOW (Reuters) -North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui will hold strategic consultations in Moscow with her Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov, Russia said on Wednesday, amid growing Western concern that North Korea may be about to join the Ukraine war on Russia's side.
Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, told a press briefing the North Korean minister was on her way to Moscow and that details of her talks with Lavrov, including the timing, would be released later.
