The top leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Kim Jong-un, has confirmed he will attend celebrations in Russia in May marking the Soviet victory over Germany in World War II, Yonhap News Agency said on Wednesday, citing a Kremlin spokesman.
The trip would be Kim's first foreign visit since taking power in 2011, succeeding his father Kim Jong-il.
"About 20 state leaders have confirmed their attendance, and the DPRK leader is among them," Yonhap quoted a Kremlin spokesman as saying.
