North Korea's Kim Jong Un crosses border into China in an armoured train to attend a military parade in Beijing, marking his first multilateral international meeting with world leaders like Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin. This historic gathering will see Kim among 26 other heads of state, including leaders from Myanmar, Iran, and Cuba. Known for his limited travels abroad, Kim's attendance at the Chinese military parade represents a rare diplomatic engagement through his traditional mode of transport, the luxurious armoured train.
