"North Korea is celebrating the 80th anniversary of its ruling Workers' Party on Friday by organizing a huge parade in the capital Pyongyang with tens of thousands of troops and showcasing its extensive arsenal of weapons. It is also a chance for Pyongyang to shore up its relations with allies like China and Russia, who are sending high-level representatives to the event."
"China's Premier Li Qiang is attending the parade, marking the highest-level visit to North Korea by a Chinese leader since 2019. Russia, meanwhile, is being represented by Dmitry Medvedev, the former president who now serves as deputy head of the Security Council chaired by President Vladimir Putin. "Friends are together, enemies are nervous," Medvedev wrote in a post on the new Russian state-backed messenger app MAX."

Kim Jong Un framed the event as resistance to a US-led military threat and pledged to build the country into a socialist paradise. Strengthened ties with China and Russia have increased North Korea's regional and international significance amid the Russia-Ukraine war and intensifying US-China rivalry.
