A beginning of a new friendship sprouts between two controversial world leaders, President Vladimir Putin of Russia and North Korea's Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Un, as they commemorate end of World War II this May at Moscow.
Putin's government announced last Wednesday that they are entering a "Year of Friendship" with the supreme leader's government.
Russia states that the supreme leader has agreed and promised to visit the country this coming May to celebrate World War Two Victory Day.
According to ValueWalk, the celebration will also be joined by 26 heads of state including Cuba, China, India, Mongolia, South Africa and Vietnam.
Should the supreme leader fail to attend the celebration, alternatives like Kim Yong Nam, who is technically North Korea's head of state because he is the president of the North Korea's parliament the Supreme People's Assembly, might be the one to show up on the event.
Though the supreme leader's attendance is possible since North Korea positively responded to the idea of sending Kim Jong Un for the celebration.
If North Korea sends the supreme leader, this will be Kim's first trip outside of North Korea as supreme leader. This is after the leadership was passed unto him from his late father Kim Jong Il, who also established good rapport with the Russians and visited Moscow before he died in 2011.
Putin sees this alliance with North Korea as a key to the development of both countries to ensure stability and security.
North Korea declares 2015 is considered to be the year of North Korean-Russian friendship, according to Washington Posts.
