Kim Jong Un will attend China's military parade, alongside Putin and other world leaders. This marks Kim's first international meeting in years and a significant diplomatic event. The parade celebrates the 80th anniversary of China's war against Japan. Analysts will closely watch the interactions between Kim, Putin, and Xi Jinping, given the ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly concerning the war in Ukraine and US relations with North Korea and Russia. South Korea's president is also invited, but his attendance remains uncertain due to strained relations with North Korea.
