In North Korea, Putin's ministers were "kicked out" of the negotiation hall

Members of the delegation accompanying Russian President Vladimir Putin during his visit to Pyongyang were expelled from the negotiation room. Putin's entourage entered the hall before North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and occupied the negotiation table, which angered the protocol service of the DPRK. The unexpected situation was broadcast live on North Korean state media and Russian channels.

The first video shows Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov sitting at the negotiating table and complaining about something being contaminated. Then Deputy Prime Ministers Denis Manturov and Vitaly Savelev came and sat next to him.

After that, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, Minister of Defense Andrey Belousov, Minister of Health Mikhail Murashko and head of Roscosmos Yuriy Borisov entered the room.

At that moment, a North Korean official shouted "Stop" and demanded that the ministers leave the meeting room immediately. "Our leader Mr. Kim should visit here first," he said.

And Putin's ministers were nervous about what happened on the live broadcast. They complained that they "were not warned about this earlier".

"First you tell us to hurry, and then...", the ministers expressed their objections.

The broadcast continued with images of the suddenly empty conference room. It is noteworthy that the negotiations between Kim and Putin, which began after a mutual misunderstanding, resulted in the signing of a strategic agreement containing a mutual defense clause between the two countries, and Putin called it a "great achievement."
