Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Pyongyang on Monday to the full theatre of North Korean state ceremony, with flags, flowers, military honours and crowds to welcome the leader of the country that has long been one of North Korea’s closest allies.
Kim Jong Un and his wife, Ri Sol Ju, greeted Xi and wife, Peng Liyuan, at Pyongyang’s international airport before the Chinese leader was taken to the capital’s main square, where portraits of Xi and Kim looked out over the choreographed display of friendship.
