Kim Jong Un has arrived in Beijing by armored train, in what is considered his first international visit that is not a bilateral meeting. The trip from Pyongyang lasted about a day and marks a symbolic turn in the way the North Korean leader is positioning himself on the global stage. The visit comes at a crucial moment, as he is expected to attend a military parade hosted by Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing's Tiananmen Square on Tuesday.
South Korean intelligence sources have revealed that Kim Jong Un is accompanied by his daughter, Kim Ju Ae. This detail has sparked fresh speculation about whether she is preparing to inherit power. Her presence at such a major event has deep symbolic value and could be seen as a clear sign of the preparation of the next generation within the Kim dynasty.
Kim was welcomed at Beijing's railway station by senior Chinese officials, including Foreign Minister Wang Yi. According to North Korea's state news agency, he thanked President Xi for his warm welcome. The visit comes at a time when North Korea is intensifying cooperation with Russia and China, while tensions with the United States and its Western allies remain high.
Ahead of the visit, Kim Jong Un visited a missile production center in his country, where, according to North Korean media, advanced components for intercontinental ballistic missile engines are being developed. The move is seen as a reinforcement of the regime's military capabilities and a signal that Pyongyang has no intention of giving up its status as a nuclear power.
The visit to Beijing, the presence at the military parade, and the appearance of his daughter on the international stage give this move multiple significance. It is a signal of the North Korean regime's efforts to consolidate traditional alliances at a time of great economic and diplomatic challenges.
