On August 28th, Xinhua News Agency and other official media announced the list. 26 foreign heads of state, including Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, have confirmed to attend the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japan and the World Anti-Fascist War.

It is worth mentioning that in the list published by the Chinese side, Kim Jong-un¡¯s name is in second place, and the first of course is Putin, which does not need to say much, but also shows China¡¯s importance to Kim Jong-un.

However, Kim Jong-un's decision to attend the September 3rd military parade is actually a bit surprising. After all, he has not visited many foreign countries in recent years, especially on multilateral occasions.

Moreover, as the core party of the peninsula issue, North Korea has always been under the direct pressure of the US-South Korea military alliance, and the overseas visits of its top leaders affect the overall situation. Under this background, its high-level overseas visits tend to be more cautious, especially public appearances on multilateral international occasions.

Now, Kim Jong Un chose this occasion in China to take this step. To a certain extent, this is not only trusting his old neighbors, but also taking into account the current international situation.

In the current international context, the DPRK has a strategic need to address common challenges.

The United States and the West continue to strengthen their military alliances in the Asia-Pacific region, and they are also putting pressure on the Korean Peninsula issue, attempting to compress North Korea's living space, while also posing a threat to China's peripheral security.

For North Korea, attending the commemorative events held by China can enhance its voice with China¡¯s international influence and also convey a signal of ¡°not being isolated¡± to the outside world.

Another interesting point is that Kim Jong-un can be said to be the person Trump is most eager to see at the moment.

During a meeting this week with the U.S. President of South Korea, he said his relationship with Kim Jong-un was ¡°very good¡± and hoped to meet with him this year.

In fact, since Trump re-entered the White House, he has publicly expressed his desire to see Kim Jong Un many times, but he has all been rejected by North Korea.

After all, North Korea demands that the United States lift sanctions and ensure the security of the regime, while the United States insists on the premise of "complete denuclearization". North Korea also knows Trump's real purpose, so naturally it will not accept "malicious" meetings.

However, now that Kim Jong-un is going to Beijing to attend the 1993 military parade, Trump is afraid that he will chant again. Why is he willing to go to China, so he doesn't want to see me?

South Korea is a little "embarging", this time sent the congressman, compared with Kim Jong-un's chief of staff, the score is much worse.

Closer to home, Kim Jong-un's choice to attend China's activities is widely considered by the outside world to reflect North Korea's more positive attitude towards China.

On the one hand, China and North Korea have always been highly consistent on the historical issue of commemorating the Anti-Japanese War.

Kim Jong-un's personal presence at the 93rd parade is a tribute to China's victory in the war, and also represents the history of the North Korean people remembering this period of side-by-side war, demonstrating respect for China, and embodying the preciousness of North Korea's traditional friendship with China.

On the other hand, in the past few years, the West has deliberately played up the so-called "contradiction between China and North Korea", interpreting the cooperation between North Korea and Russia as "alienation from China".

However, Kim Jong Un personally went to Beijing to attend an event commemorating the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, which shows that North Korea attaches great importance to China-North Korea relations. China remains North Korea's important strategic partner, which is a powerful response to Western doubts.

It is also worth noting that the 70th anniversary celebration of China's victory in the resistance war, which was held 10 years ago, was not personally attended by Kim Jong-un, but only by North Korea's No. 2 character Trun Hai.

The presence of Kim Jong-un in person this time may indicate that North Korea wants to slowly move closer to the center of the international stage and be widely accepted by the international community, which may also be an adjustment of North Korea's diplomatic strategy.

In addition, in addition to the 26 foreign leaders, many speakers of parliament, deputy prime ministers, high-level representatives, heads of international organizations and former dignitaries from various countries will also attend.

Among them, while part of Japan's right-wing forces attempted to distort history and confuse audiovisual, a special figure appeared on the list of invited guests, he was Japan's former prime minister, Shenyang Zhejiang.

You know, just a few days ago, Japan called on Eurasian countries not to participate in China's 1993 military parade through diplomatic channels. Now, the former Japanese Prime Minister has chosen to participate in the 1993 military parade, so I hope he can have a good look.

In short, every friend from afar is welcome to this grand event held in China.
