Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Russian President Vladimir Putin were set to meet Saturday night in Moscow to talk about bilateral economic cooperation and security issues.

North Korea is also likely to be high on the agenda days after Washington told Pyongyang it will not hold the first-ever U.S.-North Korean summit scheduled for June 12.

The fate of that summit remains unclear after U.S. President Donald Trump hinted Friday at the possibility it could still be held.
