Talks between Russian president Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on a possible arms deal are set to begin soon.
Mr Kim travelled for two days in an armoured train to the Vostochny space centre in Russia's far east, in what was a highly scrutinised journey.
Pyongyang fired a ballistic missile hours ahead of the meeting.
The two sanctioned regimes are expected to strike a deal that exchanges weapons for humanitarian aid.
The meeting between Mr Kim and Mr Putin is being closely watched by the US and its allies, although Pyongyang and Moscow deny that their talks are about military cooperation.
The White House said it had new information that negotiations between Russia and North Korea were on a weapons deal were "actively advancing".
