North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will attend a military parade in Beijing next week

BEIJING (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will make his first visit to China in six years to attend a military parade next week, the two countries said Thursday, in an event that would bring him together with a group of world leaders for the first time since taking office in late 2011. Kim and Russian President Vladimir Putin will be among 26 foreign leaders who attend next Wednesday's parade in Beijing to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and China's resistance against Japan's wartime aggressions, according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry. “We warmly welcome General Secretary Kim Jong Un to China to attend the commemorative events,” Hong Lei, China's assistant minister of foreign affairs, told a press conference.
