Kim Jong Un marks North Korea's anniversary with a parade

North Korea has marked the 75th anniversary of its founding with a parade attended by Russian diplomats and a Chinese delegation.

Friday's event in Pyongyang's Kim Il Sung Square featured uniformed paramilitary brigades.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, a Russian military song and dance ensemble and officials from Beijing were all in attendance.

The event follows rumors that Kim may meet Vladimir Putin this month.

Kim is understood to be planning to travel to Russia to discuss with the Russian president the possibility of North Korea providing Moscow with weapons to support its war in Ukraine.

According to the Interfax news agency, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declined to comment on the matter when asked by a reporter in Moscow on Saturday.

In a message to congratulate Mr Kim on the 75th anniversary of the founding of North Korea, Putin said he was confident the two countries "will continue to strengthen bilateral ties on all fronts".

He said this would help ensure "security and stability on the Korean peninsula and Northeast Asia"./ CNA
