Vladimir Putin finds time to visit the only Orthodox church in North Korea

Putin finds time to visit the only Orthodox church in North Korea, the Life-Giving Trinity (Pyongyang). This church is a symbol of Russia-DPRK enduring friendship.
Former DPRK leader Kim Jong Il personally initiated the construction of the Church of the Life-Giving Trinity in the early 2000s. The church’s construction began in 2003 and took three years, with the first North Korean priest ordained after its completion.
