North Korea's leader Kim Jong-Un has arrived in China by train, reports the South Korean news agency Yonhap.
It is a rare trip outside North Korea for Kim, who is one of 26 heads of state expected to participate in a military parade in Beijing to mark the 80th anniversary of Japan's capitulation in World War II.
If everything goes as planned, it will be the first time that Kim, Russian President Vladimir Putin and China's counterpart Xi Jinping appear at the same event.
