SEOUL, Sept 9 — North Korea marked its founding anniversary with a parade attended by leader Kim Jong-un as well as Russian diplomats and a high-ranking Chinese delegation, state media said today, as Pyongyang deepens ties with Moscow and Beijing.
“All the participants paid the highest glory and warmest thanks to Kim Jong Un, peerless patriot and ever-victorious iron-willed commander.” Russian diplomats also attended the event, as well as a Russian military song-and-dance ensemble which had arrived in Pyongyang to mark the occasion, KCNA reported.
And according to Chinese state media, President Xi Jinping “extended congratulations in a call to Kim Jong Un” on the anniversary. US and other officials told The New York Times that Kim is likely to head by armoured train later this month to Vladivostok, on Russia’s Pacific coast not far from North Korea, to meet Putin.
