Three days before the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the founding party of North Korea, Chinese officials announced that they would send the heads of government to visit North Korea.
On October 7, foreign ministry officials announced that, at the invitation of the DPRK, the heads of the Chinese government will lead the delegation to the 80th anniversary of the founding of the DPRK Party on October 9-11, and to make an official friendly visit to the DPRK.
At this time, there are only three days left before North Korea holds party-building activities. The day before, both Russia and Vietnam had announced their official visits to North Korea. This is also the final official announcement of China.
The Russian side will send the heart of Putin, the chairman of the party of united Russia, and the deputy chairman of the Federal Security Council, Medvedev, to visit North Korea.
Let us note that North Korea is holding the party’s 80th anniversary event, where Medvedev is the chairman of the ruling Russian party “United Russia”.
Russia sent the party chairman to participate in the party-building activities in North Korea, which can be regarded as a reciprocal visit.
Vietnamese leader Sulin also intends to personally visit the DPR.
On October 9-11, at the invitation of the DPRK, Sullin will make a state visit to North Korea and attend the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the founding party.
The reason why Su Lin personally visited North Korea in Vietnam is very simple. After all, Vietnam and North Korea have the same systems and are both socialist countries, and their relations have always been good.
In 2019, the North Korean leader also travelled 66 hours by train to Vietnam, this time also counted as a six-year return visit to Vietnam, while the Vietnamese leader's last visit to the DPRK dates back to 2007, when Vietnam's then-leader, Mr. Moon.
Therefore, for the Vietnamese leader's visit, the North Korean side will inevitably be very happy.
Looking back on the Chinese side, the size of the delegation that has been sent to visit North Korea this time is not too low, and it was personally led by our highest level to visit the DPRK.
This reminds us that the former North Korean Foreign Minister, Trujillo, had just visited China alone.
Combined with these two things, it is very likely that Xu Xiaobo came to China to prepare for a visit to the DPRK and personally delivered the invitation letter to the Chinese side.
So what surprises have North Korea prepared for the commemoration of the founding of the Party?
South Korean media last month that the DPRK plans to hold a military parade at the commemorative event.
Several days ago, the joint staff headquarters of South Korea again released news that North Korea is preparing for the party's 80th anniversary parade, with tens of thousands of participants.
Of course, the above are all South Korea's claims and the North Korea has not confirmed it.
On the 5th, the North Korean leader boarded the Choe Hyon destroyer for a visit, and the North Korean navy held a warm welcoming ceremony;
On the 6th, the DPRK held the "Defense Development 2025" weapons exhibition.On the same day, the DPRK attended the ceremony and examined the DPRK People's Army Command and representatives of the land, sea and air forces.
South Korea said it was part of North Korea's 80th anniversary of its founding.
Obviously, North Korean leaders are fully prepared in Pyongyang to welcome the three major distinguished guests of China, Russia and Vietnam.
After all, this is the first large-scale public diplomatic occasion of North Korea after the leaders of this generation of North Korea stepped onto the multilateral diplomatic stage, and the DPRK attaches great importance to it.
At the same time, the DPRK also hopes to use this opportunity to show the outside world the military achievements achieved after the 80th anniversary of the founding of the DPRK Party and the development of national defense, thereby expanding its military and international influence.
From any perspective, this commemorative event is crucial for the DPRK.
As a traditional friendly country of North Korea, the Sino-Russian DPRK is still a blood-built friendship, but the Russian-Russian alliance relations have passed the test of the Kursk battle, and China and Russia will of course do their utmost to support the DPRK and attend this event with high standards.
The presence of high-level officials from China, Russia and Vietnam will undoubtedly bring the greatest traffic and exposure to North Korea's commemoration event.
The gathering of high-level delegations from China, Russia and Vietnam in Pyongyang is not only an important appearance of North Korea's diplomacy, but also a clear geopolitical signal transmission.
Through careful preparations-from military parade preparations to cutting-edge national defense exhibitions, the DPRK aims to show the world its national strength achievements and strategic confidence in the past 80 years, especially under the leadership of the current leadership.
China-Russia as a key strategic partner, Vietnam as a socialist counterpart, the arrival of senior figures from the three countries is undoubtedly the strongest international response to the demands of North Korea.It shows that despite the changes in the international landscape, North Korea is not isolated and helpless, its relations with traditional friendly countries are being consolidated and deepened under new historical conditions.
This diplomatic event in Pyongyang will undoubtedly significantly enhance North Korea’s international visibility and influence, and lay a new foundation for the future evolution of the Northeast landscape.
