The Russian Ambassador to North Korea, Alexander Matsegora, confirmed Putin's upcoming visit to Pyongyang, with preparations currently underway. It is reported that Putin is set to visit Vietnam first this month, followed by a visit to North Korea. This potential trip follows an invitation extended by the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam during a call with Putin in late March. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko mentioned in late May that preparations for Putin's visits to Vietnam and North Korea are in their final stages. Putin's last official visit to Vietnam was in 2013, with his last visit to North Korea dating back to his first presidential term in 2000. The international community has been eagerly monitoring Putin's return visit to North Korea since his meeting with Kim Jong-un last year during the latter's visit to Russia.

According to TrendForce's latest research, the power battery industry chain experienced a low point in capacity utilization in the first quarter of this year. Since March, market demand has significantly rebounded, leading to a surge in demand during the peak season in April which boosted lithium battery production and slightly increased power battery prices. The article details the steady demand for power batteries in May, maintaining stable prices. Furthermore, it discusses the increasing demand for energy storage cells, especially due to rising solar energy storage needs and preparations for energy storage grid projects in China throughout May and June, which have led to a slight price increase for some products. TrendForce forecasts that battery material procurement demand may fall in the short term in June, putting pressure on lithium prices, potentially resulting in a small decrease in battery prices by the end of the second quarter.
