First North Korean leader in 66 years in Military Parade of Beijing
The North Korean leader Kim Jong-un starts to the multilateral diplomatic debut, in style.
Thanks to the invitation of the Chinese president Xi Jinping, Kim will be at the military parade of 3 September with which the Popular Republic celebrates the 80 years of the end of the Second World War and as his victory on the aggression of militarist imperial Japan. Everything suggests that on Piazza Tienamen XI, Russian President Vladimin Putin and Kim can present themselves together, also based on the photos of 10 years ago.
For the 70th anniversary of the V-Day, XI, with his Mao Zedong style dress, he had Putin’s right on his right, the most illustrious foreign leader, and his left the former Chinese presidents Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao, in the loggia reserved for the leadership on the access door to the forbidden city, with the large portrait of Mao.
This time, based on the accurate list released by Mandarina diplomacy, the young general is the second illustrious leader in importance, immediately after the head of the Kremlin.
Natural to think that Kim, at the debut in such events, cannot be kept on the sidelines.
The expected trip to Kim, unprecedented, will mark his first visit to China in six years after the last trip of 2019, and the first presence of a North Korean leader to the Chinese military parade in 66 years. Kim Il-Sung, his grandfather and founder of North Korea, took part in numerous multilateral meetings when he was head of the country, but neither Kim Jong-un nor his father and predecessor, Kim Jong -il, have ever gone abroad for such events.
Observers expect the young general to mended relations with Beijing, thinking about the possible end of the war in Ukraine since the North has aligned with Russia on the military front and beyond, until he unfolded his troops in support of the War of Moscow at Ukraine.
The key question is whether North Korea leaders, China and Russia will hold a three -way summit. If yes, the meeting will mark a symbolic moment of the after cold war, with the three countries holding the ranks in response to the growing cooperation of Seoul, Washington and Tokyo, adjusting an increasingly oriented posture to change the western world order to American driving.
