Tens of thousands of people in Pyongyang are on standby. Three days later, Kim Jong Un has carefully prepared a grand ceremony, which China's two neighboring countries have confirmed to attend.
Comprehensive Observer Network, the DPRK, the Korean Union Agency and other media reports, on October 2nd, the head of the Joint Communiqué of the Republic of Korea, Li Qing Yuan, issued a message on the same day at a routine press conference, saying that the North Korean capital Pyongyang appeared signs of preparing for a large-scale parade of tens of thousands of people, and the Korean army is closely watching the relevant trends.
Li Jin Jin said that the South Korean military captured the movement of North Korean vehicles and military equipment transfers, but did not find a weapons system worthy of attention.
The news released by the Korean-Chinese news agency today confirmed the above reports, the Korean-Chinese news agency said the general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam Comrade Sullin and the party chairman of the party of Russian Federation Medvedev will lead the delegation to visit North Korea.
Both Vietnam and Russia visited North Korea for one purpose: “to attend the 80th anniversary celebration of the founding of the Korean Labour Party.”
The Workers' Party of Korea was founded on October 10, 1945. As of October 10, 2025, it happens to be the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Workers' Party of Korea. The attendance of both Russia and North Korea is very interesting.
Vietnam is the first time that a top Vietnam leader has visited Pyongyang in 18 years. It is also the third time that a top Vietnam leader has visited Pyongyang, and Surin is the third top Vietnam leader to visit Pyongyang.
According to the historical news reports of the World Wide Web, North Korea and Vietnam formally established relations on January 31, 1950, and Kim Jong-un visited Vietnam twice in 1958 and 1964.
Vietnam leader Ho Chi Minh led a delegation to visit Pyongyang in July 1957, and Nong Duc Manh, then General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam, visited Pyongyang in October 2007.
So the news of the upcoming visit to Pyongyang by the current highest leader of Vietnam is a very clear signal to the outside world.It shows that Vietnam is increasingly focused on unity within the socialist camp, and also marks North Korea's diplomatic exchanges began this year "recovery".
At the same time, relations between North Korea and Vietnam began to be close, possibly linked to something else.Kim Jong-un visited Vietnam in 2019 and met with former U.S. President Trump in Vietnam.
The most important topic of the meeting between Kim Jong-un and Trump was the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, and looking at the current state of relations between North Korea and the United States, the United States actively sought to establish ties with North Korea.
The White House said on September 30 that President Trump still intends to have a dialogue with Kim Jong-un, Chairman of the DPRK State Committee, without pre-setting conditions, while stressing that the U.S. policy towards the DPRK remains unchanged.
That is to say, Trump still wants to meet with Kim Jong-un, and a major problem facing North Korea now is the sanctions imposed by the United Nations, which prevents North Korea from conducting trade activities with the outside world. Therefore, if North Korea wants to solve this problem, it is essential to contact with the United States.
Therefore, Sullin's visit to North Korea may also be able to bridge the link between North Korea and the United States, prompting the two sides to re-establish dialogue.
You may think that North Korea has helped Russia on the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, so why did not Putin personally attend this important celebration in North Korea?
This issue is obvious. North Korea and Russia no longer need to use this method to prove their friendship. In recent years, senior Russian leaders have frequently visited North Korea to express their respect and gratitude to North Korea. On June 19, 2024, Putin personally visited North Korea and signed the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty with North Korea.
It is reasonable for Russia to arrange Medvedev to attend the celebration in North Korea. First of all, the celebration in North Korea is a grand celebration of the Workers' Party of Korea, and although Putin is the president of Russia, he is an independent person.
Second, Medvedev appears to be only the deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, but he is actually the chairman of the party of Russian Federation and the recruitment committee of the Russian Armed Forces.
The United Russia Party is Russia's largest party, so sending Medvedev to North Korea to attend the celebration is the most suitable candidate. On the one hand, his identity as the leader of Russia's largest political party is in line with the celebration.
On the other hand, as chairman of the Russian Armed Forces Recruitment Committee, one of the biggest purposes of his visit was to see if it was possible to introduce some more North Korean soldiers into Russia to fight.
In fact, this is Putin's test of Medvedev. We can see that this year, Russia has successively sent shoigu, Chairman of the National Security Council, Lavrov, Foreign Minister, Vorodin, Chairman of the Russian State Duma, and now Medvedev.
Putin is now 73 years old, his current term will end in May 2030, and at that time he was 78 years old, it can be said that it is difficult to continue to rule, so how to handle Russian-Russian relations is also a major measure of the current Putin selection of successor.
