Mr Kim arrived at a Beijing railway station and was greeted by senior Chinese officials yesterday.

China’s state-run Xinhua news agency released a photo of a smiling Mr Kim, dressed in a black suit and red tie, stepping off his train.

Mr Kim and Russia's President Viadimir Putin are among 26 world leaders who will join China's President Xi Jinping to watch today's massive military parade in Beijing that commemorates the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War and China’s fight against Japan’s wartime aggression.
