images appear to show. Kim is in China to attend a "Victory Day" parade on Wednesday, which will see him rub shoulders with China's President Xi Jinping, Russia's Vladimir Putin and other world leaders - making it his first multilateral meeting. Kim crossed into China on Tuesday onboard his armoured train, which is said to include a restaurant serving fine French wines and dishes like fresh lobster. Photos showed him stepping off his train at Beijing Railway Station accompanied by his daughter. South Korea's spy agency has previously said she was Kim's "most likely" successor.

Miss Kim has appeared in public frequently alongside her father since she made her debut in November 2022. However, details about her are very limited. There are conflicting reports regarding her age. In 2023, the South's National Intelligence Service (NIS) said it believed she was around 10 years old. North Korea's state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said Kim was greeted at the station by several high-ranking members of the Communist Party of China (CPC), including Foreign Minister Wang Yi. The report said they met in a "warm atmosphere" and that Kim had thanked President Xi for the "enthusiastic and cordial hospitality". It does acknowledge the presence of his daughter. (BBC)
