Syrian President Bashar Al Asad is set to meet North Korean leader Kim jong un in Pyongyang, the North’s state media reported on Sunday.
According to a report by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) citing CNN, Assad will visit North Korea and meet Kim.
The KCNA, reports however, did not mention the time and date of the meeting between the two leaders.
Reportedly, days before Kim is scheduled to meet US President Donald Truph for the June 12 summit at Singapore, the former was making plans to meet Assad.
If the meeting does take shape, then Assad will be the first head of state of the world to meet Kim Jong, after the latter came to power in 2011.
