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.
