본문내용

It does not take genius to guess why North Korean leader Kim Jong-il is visiting Russia. Kim desperately needs economic aid, with his country gripped by a chronic food crisis, which has been aggravated by recent floods.

Also of great concern to Pyongyang watchers is whether or not he is attempting to balance China’s growing influence on his country by forging closer ties with Russia ― the kind of diplomacy his late father, Kim Il-sung, conducted during the Cold War era. Kim’s Russia visit is being made on the heels of his tour of China in May.

Pyongyang watchers say Kim has not gained as much aid from China as is needed to get through the food crisis, adding that food aid will be at the top of the agenda when he meets with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
