Kim attends extravagant gathering coinciding with Putin and Xi, following military display
North Korea, China, and Russia Unite in Show of Force at Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un attended a reception in Beijing, marking a significant gathering with China's Xi Jinping and Russia's Vladimir Putin. The event, which took place during the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Tianjin, China, was described as a show of force and unity against the United States and the West.
The reception followed a military parade in Beijing, and the main table at the banquet hall was horizontally stretched and decorated with a model of the Great Wall and doves symbolizing peace. Kim Jong-un was seated in the front row to Xi Jinping's left, with South Korean Assembly Speaker Woo Won-shik also present. However, Kim Jong-un was seated far from where Woo Won-shik was seated at the head table.
Xi Jinping's speech during the reception was noteworthy, as he criticized "U.S. unilateralism" and stated that "humanity must not return to the 'law of jungle'." He also proposed a toast to the "great victory of the Chinese people's war of resistance against Japanese aggression and the anti-fascist war," and to "a bright future of lasting peace and shared prosperity for humanity."
Kim Jong-un raised his glass and toasted alongside China's first lady Peng Liyuan during the reception. The leaders stood side by side during the parade, and the luncheon at the reception featured roasted lamb, lobster, and salmon served with wine.
The event was seen as a new Cold War front, with tensions between the United States and these three nations continuing to escalate. The leaders' presence and unity sent a clear message of solidarity and resistance against what they perceive as Western interference.
As the world watches these developments unfold, the implications of this gathering remain to be seen. The unity displayed by these leaders may signal a shift in global politics, and the international community will be closely monitoring any future moves by these nations.
