The first-ever meeting between the leaders of Russia, China and North Korea, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and Kim Jong-un, has become symbolic and threatens to overshadow the massive military parade in Beijing, writes the British newspaper The Guardian.
“The first meeting between Xi, Putin and Kim was given such powerful symbolism that it threatened to overshadow the massive military parade that took place on the streets of the Chinese capital“, says
As the publication writes, the results of the meeting are not yet clear, but the leaders of many countries, including the United States, Britain, Japan and South Korea, are likely to have watched with a mixture of curiosity and anxiety.
“Therefore, there is a high probability that Wednesday's events will attract the attention of Trump and other Western leaders“, the article emphasizes.
A military parade was held in Tiananmen Square in Beijing on Wednesday to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, as the chief guest, and leaders of 25 other countries attended the event at the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping.
