“There is also a military component in Vladivostok, on the lines of the defence ministry, but it is simply to demonstrate the capabilities of the Pacific Fleet,” Putin told state-run media.

His comments came following talks between the leaders at the Vostochny Cosmodrome in eastern Russia, near the Chinese and North Korean border.

Kim will visit the Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok, as well as the Russian Academy of Sciences, including laboratories researching marine biology, Putin said.

Before Vladivostok, Kim will go to Komsomolsk-on-Amur, an important industrial centre.

“(Kim) will visit factories where civilian and combat aviation equipment is produced,” Putin said on television.

His visit comes as US officials and experts have said Russia is interested in buying North Korean ammunition to use in the conflict in Ukraine — an arms deal that would defy global sanctions.

Russia’s COVID-19 Vaccine Ready for Use as Putin’s Daughter Inoculated https://thecommerceafrica.com/russias-covid-19-vaccine-ready-for-use-as-putins-daughter-inoculated/ https://thecommerceafrica.com/russias-covid-19-vaccine-ready-for-use-as-putins-daughter-inoculated/#respond Tue, 11 Aug 2020 10:14:19 +0000 http://thecommerceafrica.com/?p=1461 Russia on Tuesday became the first country to officially register a coronavirus vaccine and declare it ready for use, despite international skepticism. President Vladimir Putin said that one of his daughters has already been inoculated.

Putin emphasized that the vaccine underwent the necessary tests and has proven efficient, offering a lasting immunity from the coronavirus. However, scientists at home and abroad have been sounding the alarm that the rush to start using the vaccine before Phase 3 trials — which normally last for months and involve thousands of people — could backfire.
