North Korean leader Kim Jong Un met Russian President Vladimir Putin and visited key military and technology sites.
that triggered global concerns about weapons transfer deals between the two countries locked in separate standoffs with the West.
It was Kim's longest foreign travel since he took power in late 2011. Observers said Kim was expected to return to Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, around Monday afternoon. "Military cooperation between North Korea and Russia is illegal and unjust as it contravenes U.N. Security Council resolutions and various other international sanctions," South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said in written responses Sunday to questions from The Associated Press."The international community will unite more tightly in response to such a move."
At the island's Primorsky Aquarium, Russia's largest, Kim watched performances featuring beluga whales, bottlenose dolphins, fur seals and"Misha" the walrus, which he seemed to particularly enjoy, according to Russian media. On Friday, Kim visited an aircraft plant in the city of Komsomolsk-on-Amur that produces Russia's most powerful fighter jets.
North Korea's state media reported that Kim and Shoigu talked about the regional security environment and exchanged views on"practical issues arising in further strengthening the strategic and tactical coordination, cooperation and mutual exchange between the armed forces of the two countries."
