Kim Jong Un reached China after 6 years, traveled by royal bulletproof train

International News:North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un is once again in the headlines. He has reached China after a long gap. The special thing is that Kim has traveled to Beijing by his famous bulletproof private train. Here he will take part in the grand military parade organized on the 80th anniversary of the Second World War. During this, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin will also be present.

First foreign trip after two years

This visit of Kim Jong Un is important in many ways. This is his first foreign trip after going to Russia in 2023. On that tour, he met President Vladimir Putin. At the same time, this is his first visit to China after January 2019. In this regard, his presence in Beijing is considered very special.

Unity of three big powers seen in Beijing

Amid pressure on America and its allies, Kim, Xi Jinping and Putin sharing the stage together in Beijing is being considered a big message in terms of global politics. For the first time since 2019, Kim and Jinping will be face-to-face. Prior to this, Kim had visited Beijing four times in just 10 months. At that time, his aim was to get China's support to soften relations with the US and South Korea.

China and Russia's support on North Korea

China has played a major role in keeping North Korea's economy alive amid the tough US sanctions. At the same time, Pyongyang's growing closeness with Russia is also not hidden from anyone.
The US and South Korea allege that North Korea has provided large quantities of weapons and soldiers to Moscow since the Ukraine war broke out.

Kim's royal train—a symbol of strength & security

Kim Jong Un always travels in his luxurious, bulletproof train. This train is called the royal ride of North Korea. Kim's father and grandfather have also been traveling internationally by this train. Kim believes that this is the safest means of travel. This is the reason why he also travels by this train on foreign tours.

• Two years ago, he travelled to Russia by the same train.
• In 2019, he travelled to Vietnam by train, a 60-hour-long journey.
• However, in 2018, China provided him a Boeing 787 aircraft to meet US President Donald Trump in Singapore.
