North Korea's Kim Jong Un to join Putin at China military parade

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is set to attend a military parade in China, coinciding with the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. This marks a rare public appearance for the reclusive leader, who will be joining Russian President Vladimir Putin at the event. The announcement of Kim's attendance comes just days after U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his desire to meet the North Korean leader. The potential meeting between Trump and Kim would be a continuation of the diplomatic efforts to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula. The military parade in China is expected to showcase the country's military might, and Kim's presence at the event is seen as a significant diplomatic move. It highlights the close relationship between North Korea and China, as well as the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the region.
