The leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, has set off from Pyongyang to China on his armored train to participate in a military parade. The carriage is equipped with a restaurant serving exquisite dishes such as fresh lobsters and elite French wines.
The journey to Beijing is expected to take 20-24 hours due to increased security measures. The arrival of the North Korean leader is scheduled for Tuesday, September 2.
The Kim family's trains have always been a part of state propaganda, emphasizing the leader's 'people-ness.' Previously, Kim Jong Un promised to ensure a 'good life' for the families of the 'martyrs' who died fighting against Ukraine.
Kim Jong Un's armored train is considered a symbol of the Kim dynasty's power. Inside this 'moving palace' are located a bedroom, office, restaurant, guard cars, and a special garage for armored 'Mercedes' vehicles.
