thoughts, whatever that means during the journey and joining me now is cnn national correspond and ivan watsonivan tell us we're used to seeing north korea putting out this kind of colorful language. but what do we really know about what's going on with this meeting? what's, what's on the agenda? >> well, i think what's really interesting is that the language that north korea usually puts out against imperialism and colonialism and so on has been echoed very much mirrored. i would argue by the kremlin with its own language, where the kremlin has said that north korea is a staunch like-minded ally in supporting support are ready to resolutely resist the desire of the collective west to prevent the form formation of a multipolar world order based on justice. so what we're seeing here is these two liters signaling that they're very much ideologically aligned. they're both isolated by the us and its western allies. and they're making a show that they can draw closer in fact, the kremlin has announced that they're planning to sign a new strategic partnership with north korea. at this meeting in the
