North Korean leader Kim Jong -un arrived in the Chinese capital Beijing with his daughter Kim Ju Hey, it seems that the images are being shown.

Kim is in China to attend a parade of Victory Day on Wednesday, who will see him rub shoulders with China’s President Jinping, Russian Vladimir Putin and other world leaders – which makes him his first versatile meeting.

Kim crossed China on Tuesday aboard his armored train, which is said to include a restaurant serving fine French wines and dishes like fresh lobster.

The photos showed him to get off his train to Beijing railway station, accompanied by his daughter. South Korea spy agency said it was Kim’s “most common” heir.

Miss Kim has appeared in public, along with her father, since her debut in November 2022. However, the details of her have been very limited.

There are conflicting reports on her age. In 2023 said the National Intelligence Service to the South (NIS) She believed he was about 10 years oldS

North Korea State Central Information Agency (KCNA) said Kim was welcomed at the station by several high -ranking members of the China Communist Party (CPC), including Foreign Minister Wang YI.

The report says they met in the “warm atmosphere” and that Kim thanked his president for “enthusiastic and cardiovascularity.” This recognizes his daughter’s presence.

Kim left Pyongyang on Monday, but heavy train protection means he is traveling slowly.

Kim’s visit notes the first time the North Korean leader has visited a Chinese military parade since 1959. He will be among 26 other heads of state – including leaders from Myanmar, Iran and Cuba – who will be there.

His visit is an upgrade from the latest parade of the Victory Day in China in 2015, when Pyongyang sent one of his best employees, Chow Ring-Hay.

The retreating leader rarely travels abroad, and his recent contact with world leaders is limited to Putin, whom he meets twice after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

He last attended Beijing in 2019 for an event marking the 70th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the countries. This trip also saw him travel by train.

The tradition of traveling through a train was created by Kim’s grandfather Kim Il Sung – who made his own train travel to Vietnam and Eastern Europe.

Kim’s father, Kim Jong Il, travels by train, as well as reports, he is afraid to fly.

According to a South Korean newsletter, the armored train has about 90 boxes, including conference rooms, cameras for audiences and bedrooms.

Tens of thousands of military officials will march in a formation through the historic Tiananmann Square in Beijing on the day of the parade, which will celebrate the 80th anniversary of Japan’s official broadcast in World War II and the end of the conflict.

The 70-minute parade is likely to include China’s latest weapons, including hundreds of planes, tanks and anti-wisdom-the first time when the new power of its military forces appears entirely in a parade.

Most Western leaders are not expected to attend the parade because of their opposition to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, causing sanctions on Putin’s regime.

But he will see leaders from Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Vietnam to be present – additional proof of Beijing’s agreed efforts to increase ties with neighboring Southeast Asia.

Only one EU leader will be present – Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico – while Bulgaria and Hungary will send representatives.
