Russian President Vladimir Putin and leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) Kim Jong-un were seen laying flowers at the Liberation Monument to Soviet soldiers in Pyongyang on Wednesday.
Footage shows Putin and Kim Jong-un listening to their national anthems, before watching a march by honour guard soldiers.
The monument was erected in 1946 to commemorate the Red Army soldiers who died during the liberation of the Korean peninsula from Japanese occupation.
Putin arrived in Pyongyang on Tuesday for a two-day official visit. The heads of state are scheduled to hold discussions on various topics such as the economy, energy, agriculture, trade, international relations, and security.
This visit marks the Russian president's second trip to the DPRK. In 2000 he met with the current leader's father and predecessor, Kim Jong Il.
Following his official visit to Pyongyang, Putin will leave for Hanoi at the invitation of General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee Nguyen Phu Trong.
