Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korea's Kim Jong-un will attend a military parade in Beijing, marking the first public appearance of the two leaders alongside President Xi Jinping in a show of collective defiance amidst Western pressure.
No Western leaders will be amongst the 26 foreign heads of state and government attending the parade next week except for Robert Fico, prime minister of Slovakia, a European Union member state, according to the Chinese foreign ministry on Thursday.
Against the backdrop of China's growing military might during the "Victory Day" parade on September 3, the three leaders will project a major show of solidarity not just between China and the Global South, but also with sanctions-hit Russia and North Korea.
Russia, which Beijing counts as a strategic partner, has been battered by multiple rounds of Western sanctions imposed after its invasion of Ukraine in 2022, with its economy on the brink of slipping into recession. Putin, wanted by the International Criminal Court, last travelled in China in 2024.
North Korea, a formal treaty ally of China's, has been under United Nations Security Council sanctions since 2006 over its development of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. Kim last visited China in January 2019.

At the Munich Security Conference some years ago Angela Merkel said it out loud being antagonistic towards Russia will drive Russia into the arms of China.
Excrement Happens.
Trump will blame it on Biden but plenty of Neocon Republicans joined the fray fanning the flames of hatred.
Merkel was spied on and dissed over immigration the CIA was in on it IMHO.
Good thing we’re allowing 600,000 ChiCom party members into the US as college students then.
Merkel stronk!
"I'm helping. Weeeeeee!"
Nonsense. Russia and China were already doing joint military exercises long before Merkel said that. She was merely giving an excuse to renew the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.
They are acting as if for most of the 20th century they were not allies. China got their weapons from Russia, Russian pilots flew migs during Korean War.
For maybe 5 minutes there was a chance that Russia would join the west.
Once again Russia is portrayed as the hapless victim 😂
Sad part for Russia is that China is only using Russia. Truth is China can survive without Russia, but Russia can’t survive without China
Wow, like Germany, Italy, and Japan of the 1930’s.
Like a backyard party of pelosi, schumer, and newsome.
Iran will be there, too.
Merkel enabled what is happening now.
An amalgamation of losers pretending to be relevant
but these 3 are still a complete mess
The gathering of three Oriental Despots.
