At 3 a.m. local time on June 19, North Korea's Pyongyang International Airport was brightly lit, and the soldiers of the honor guard of the three services of North Korea stood straight on both sides of the red carpet, waiting for the arrival of a distinguished guest.
On 19 June, the DPRK held a grand welcoming ceremony to welcome Russian President Putin, which attracted the attention of the whole world, and the solemn military parade was the focal point. North Korea's supreme leader, Kim Jong-un, greeted Putin at the airport early in the morning.
According to the report, Kim Jong-un first arrived at Kim Il Sung Square, and members of the North Korean and Russian delegations arrived one after another, followed by Putin's motorcade. The leaders of the two countries exchanged warm greetings and then shook hands with the members of the delegation. The two walked the red carpet together and inspected the honor guard of the three North Korean services. Putin then invited Kim Jong-un to ride in his "Orus" car, and before getting into the car, the two made the same move, inviting each other to get in the car first.
The national anthems of Russia and North Korea were played. Putin and Kim Jong-un inspected the guard of honor of North Korea's three armed services. Afterwards, the two got into an open-top car and drove around the square. At the same time, balloons lifted into the air and a cannon salute was fired. At the same time, balloons are lifted into the air and fireworks are fireworks. The square gathered North Koreans to greet Putin.
Every corner of the ceremony was covered with a red carpet, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic, showing that Kim Jong-un had made careful preparations for Putin's visit.
Kim Jong-un's sister, Kim Yo-jong, was also present at the ceremony. People are speculating whether the 36-year-old Kim Ho will appear on the scene with his niece Kim Joo Ae. However, although Kim Joo-ae appeared with Kim Jong-un on many occasions and attracted widespread attention, she did not participate in this major diplomatic occasion.
Since Kim Jong-un often takes his daughter to public occasions, Kim Ju-ae has become his "first daughter". But Kim Yo-jong has shown her demeanor throughout the process and has been Kim Jong-un's right-hand man for many years. This time, Kim Yo-jong wore a purple suit with a short skirt underneath, which brought out her professional temperament to the fullest. The scene where Putin and Kim Yo-jong shook hands was also filmed by a cameraman, and Kim Yo-jong was so bold and firm every time he appeared. Compared with North Korea's first lady Lee Sul-ju, Kim Yo-jong looks more heroic, and Kim Jo-ae looks a little bit more "Lee Sul-ju".
Kim Yo-jong is very different in size compared to Kim Jong-un, she is slender, slender and tall, and has a thin face, which is simply a world of difference compared to her brother Kim Jong-un.
Kim Jong-un, his wife Ri Sul-ju, and his daughter Kim Joo-ae all look alike, with a round face and a slightly chubby figure, while Kim Yo-jong pays great attention to his image and is very decent every time he appears.
Kim Jong-un and Putin walked the red carpet together, and the motorbike team at the ceremony added to the scene.
Kim Jong-un rushed to the airport early in the morning, showing the importance he attaches to this event. During the grand welcome ceremony, children held flags and balloons, adding a cheerful atmosphere to the whole event.
Putin greeted everyone with a smile on his face and looked happy. Beside him, there was also a young translator, who looked dignified and very eye-catching.
The young girl who gave Putin flowers also looked beautiful.
Kim Jong-un held a grand welcome for Putin, and Kim Jong-un's sister, 36-year-old Kim Yo-jong, dressed in a gorgeous purple dress, became the center of the celebration, but Kim's wife, Ri Sul-ju, did not attend the grand celebration.
