BEIJING -
The meeting took place on the sidelines of celebrations in Beijing to mark the anniversary of Japan's formal surrender in World War II.
Hours earlier, the pair flanked Chinese President Xi Jinping at a massive military parade for the first such gathering of the three countries' leaders since the early days of the Cold War.
After the parade, Mr Kim and Mr Putin travelled in the same car to a state guest house for private bilateral discussions.
"If there is anything I can or must do for you and the Russian people, I consider it my duty as a fraternal obligation," Mr Kim told Mr Putin.
Mr Putin addressed Mr Kim as "Dear Chairman of State Affairs" in Russian and extended his warmest greetings.
