Britain on Wednesday urged North Korea to end talks over the sale of arms to Russia, as North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin met for a rare summit.

"We urge the DPRK to cease its arms negotiations with Russia and to abide by public commitments Pyongyang has made not to sell arms to Russia," Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's spokesperson told reporters.

"This visit serves to highlight Russia's isolation on the global stage, and as the world unites against Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine and he has been forced to turn to regimes such as North Korea."
