On September 9, 2023, North Korea marked the 75th anniversary of its establishment with a military procession. This event showcased the nation’s most recent weaponry, including intercontinental ballistic missiles.
Present at the parade were North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and a distinguished delegation from China. During his address, Kim Jong Un pledged to persist in advancing the country’s nuclear arsenal and military capacities. While also emphasizing the importance of unity among the North Korean populace.
The parade was interpreted as a demonstration of North Korea’s potency and caution to its adversaries. It occurred amidst escalated tensions on the Korean Peninsula, fueled by North Korea’s ongoing nuclear development. A military parade took place at Kim Il Sung Square, overseen by Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un and his young daughter, Jun-ae.
Tension In A Region
On Monday, The New York Times said that Kim and Putin are going to meet at a conference in Russia called the Eastern Economic Forum. This conference is happening at a university in Vladivostok. It is all about getting other countries to invest money in the eastern part of Russia. It will take place from September 10 to September 13.
Putin, the leader of Russia, wants North Korea to give Russia things like big bullets and missiles that can destroy tanks. In return, Kim, who leads North Korea, wants Russia to share with North Korea some really good technology for satellites and submarines that run on nuclear power. Kim also wants Russia to provide food to help the people in his country who don’t have enough to eat.
The United States and its allies have criticized the parade, deeming it a provocative act. They have called on North Korea to re-engage in discussions regarding denuclearization.
The ramifications of the parade on the Korean Peninsula’s situation are yet uncertain. Nevertheless, it is evident that North Korea is resolute in its pursuit of nuclear armaments and shows no signs of relenting.
