SEOUL, April 23 (Xinhua) -- Kim Jong Un, top leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), is likely to visit Russia early next month to attend a ceremony marking the 70th anniversary of the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany in World War II, Russia's ambassador to Seoul said Thursday.

Alexandro Timonin, Russian ambassador to South Korea, told a press conference with local media reporters in his embassy that Kim "will probably go" to Moscow on May 9 when Russia holds festivities to mark the Soviet's World War II victory, including a massive parade on the Red Square.

Timonin, who came here in January after serving as Russian ambassador to the DPRK, said that Kim's participation was confirmed through diplomatic channels.

Russian companies are working to do businesses at the inter- Korean industrial complex in the DPRK's border town of Kaesong. The ambassador said Russia is ready to actively participate in the Kaesong industrial zone.

I was going to say that it would be a good time for a military take over but then I remembered that I would get flamed cause Kim has been democratically elected

Maybe the Thais will be invited too.

It's always a risky business when leaders like Kim Youngun leave home.

Pinochet was arrested in (?) Madrid....he was lucky to die peacefully back in Chile.

All too few world leaders have been arrested as war criminals. One thinks of the late Richard Nixon, the still-with-us George Dubya Bush and the multi millionaire Tony Bliar.

Maybe the Thais will be invited too.

Doubt it. Although a former PM who can't come back as he's on the run might invite himself, or a least claim he might go on social media. His previous regime were supposedly trying to sell rice to NK.

This is about the victory against Nazi Germany, whose allies were Japan, who used lots of conscript Koreans in the armed services. Most of the veterans of the "Death Railway" I new said that most POW guards were Korean - and hated them far more than they did the Japs.
