Military parade in China/ North Korean leader Kim Jong Un departs by train for

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un left Pyongyang by train on Monday to attend a military parade in China, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported.

It is the first time he will participate in a major multilateral diplomatic event.

The leader, who rarely leaves North Korea, is expected to arrive in Beijing on Tuesday, Yonhap reported. At the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping, the North Korean leader will attend a military parade in Beijing on Wednesday to celebrate Japan's formal surrender in World War II, state media reported. Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has cultivated a close relationship with Kim, will also attend the parade.

Kim Jong-un appears eager to further strengthen ties with Beijing after the recent summit between South Korea and the United States, experts said. South Korea will send National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-shik to the Chinese event, the Unification Ministry said.

The ministry said it was uncertain whether Woo would be able to hold bilateral talks with Kim on the sidelines of the event. /CNA
