Kim Jong Un to join Xi Jinping and Putin at China’s military parade in Beijing

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will travel to China to attend a major victory celebration and military parade in Beijing next week, China’s foreign ministry confirmed. The event will also be attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin, making it a rare occasion where the leaders of China, Russia, and North Korea will come together publicly.

The announcement highlights the growing strategic alignment among Beijing, Moscow, and Pyongyang at a time of heightened global tensions, particularly with the West.

China’s Military Parade and Celebration

The military parade in Beijing is being organised to mark a national victory celebration, showcasing China’s military strength and national unity under President Xi Jinping’s leadership.

China has traditionally used such parades to display its latest defence capabilities and to strengthen patriotic fervour domestically. This year’s event, however, carries greater international weight due to the participation of two of China’s most important geopolitical allies—North Korea and Russia.

Kim Jong Un’s Rare Foreign Visit

Kim Jong Un’s attendance in Beijing is significant because North Korea’s leader rarely travels abroad. His presence signals Pyongyang’s deepening reliance on Beijing amid increasing economic sanctions and diplomatic isolation from the West.

By attending the event alongside Xi Jinping and Putin, Kim is expected to engage in bilateral and possibly trilateral discussions on economic cooperation, security issues, and regional stability in Northeast Asia.

Putin’s Visit Amid Global Tensions

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to China comes against the backdrop of strained relations with the West over the war in Ukraine. His presence in Beijing reflects Russia’s push to strengthen its Asian partnerships as it faces mounting Western sanctions.

Putin and Xi Jinping have met multiple times in recent years, deepening cooperation in energy, defence, and trade. The joint appearance with Kim Jong Un at the parade further reinforces the emerging Moscow-Beijing-Pyongyang axis.

Geopolitical Significance

The attendance of Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin at China’s military parade signals a coordinated effort to project strength and solidarity against Western pressure. Analysts suggest that such high-profile gatherings serve not just ceremonial purposes but also as powerful symbols of geopolitical alignment.

For Beijing, the event provides an opportunity to showcase its role as a central powerbroker in Asia, while for Pyongyang and Moscow, it offers a stage to demonstrate unity with China at a time of global polarization.

Conclusion

The military parade in Beijing next week will go beyond a ceremonial display of strength. With the participation of Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, and Vladimir Putin, the event highlights the deepening partnerships among China, North Korea, and Russia. Their joint appearance underscores shifting global alliances and the strengthening of non-Western strategic blocs in the evolving world order.
