Eyes on ongoing N. Korea-China talks; what would Kim, Xi talk about?
We begin in China tonight. After the country's grand military parade, Chinese leader Xi Jinping continues to mingle with other like-minded world leaders. That includes a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. We connect with our Kim Bo-kyoung for details. Bo-kyoung, the two are now in their meeting, aren't they?

Dami, there hasn't been any detailed report yet on the meeting, but the meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un did start, according to the Xinhua news agency. Kim's motorcade was spotted by the media moving toward the Great Hall of the People at around 6PM local time. The summit between Kim and Xi, is the first such meeting in around six years, since Xi's visit to North Korea in June 2019.

Having received the highest level of courtesy from Chinese President Xi Jinping during the Victory Day military parade, all eyes today were on whether North Korean leader Kim Jong-un would have a summit with Xi. In fact, the Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun, during the regular media briefing on Thursday, had said the two leaders will hold talks to exchange in-depth views on China-North Korea relations and issues of mutual interest.

Guo further added that China wishes to strengthen strategic communication with Pyongyang. "China stands ready to strengthen strategic communication and enhance cooperation with the DPRK, deepen the sharing of governance experience, and advance the respective socialist causes." Pundits say the the agenda would likely to focus on economic cooperation, as Kim is pursuing a strategy dubbed "Security with Russia, Economy with China."

Strengthening trilateral ties among Pyongyang, Beijing and Moscow is also expected to be part of agenda. There's also plenty of attention on the rest of Kim's itinerary, such as any visits to Chinese industrial or high-tech development sites or any appearances by his daughter Kim Ju-ae. Kim, who stood shoulder to shoulder with Xi and Putin at a military parade on Wednesday, had shown a sense of unity against the West especially the U.S.

And, following the military parade, Kim held a bilateral summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin where they reportedly discussed long-term plan for bilateral cooperation. Meanwhile, a formal trilateral summit between Kim, Xi, and Putin did not take place, with Putin having headed to Vladivostok on Thursday, according to the Kremlin. That is all I have for now, back to you. Thanks Bo-kyoung for the coverage.
