Russia has invited Kim Jong-Un to visit as talks to get North Korea's summit with the US back on track continue.
The invite has been extended by Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov - and comes at a time when US relations with North Korea have hit a sticky patch.
Senior North Korean official Kim Yong Chol and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met in New York yesterday - and are due to meet again today - to discuss the denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula.
Kim Yong Chol is the highest-level representative from North Korea to set foot in the US since 2000.
Emerging from Wednesday's meeting, Mr Pompeo tweeted: "Good working dinner with Kim Yong Chol in New York tonight. Steak, corn, and cheese on the menu."

The historic North Korean-United States summit is scheduled to take place in Singapore on June 12.
US President Donald Trump last week called off the meeting but later said he was reconsidering his postion.
Mr Pompeo has since said: "Looking forward to meeting with Kim Yong Chol in New York to discuss (President Trump's) potential summit with Chairman Kim.
"We are committed to the complete, verifiable, and irreversible denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula".
