Kim Jong Un has made an unexpected visit to Beijing in his first known trip outside North Korea since taking power seven years ago, according to unconfirmed media reports.
Hours ago, footage of a mysterious, high security train was captured entering Beijing – leading to speculation that it may have been the North Korean leader.
So far, further details of the visit, including how long Kim would stay and who he would meet, were not available according to Bloomberg.
The special train may have carried Kim through the northeastern Chinese border city of Dandong, Japan’s Kyodo News reported earlier. Nippon TV showed footage of a train arriving Monday in Beijing that looked similar to one used by Kim’s father, Kim Jong Il, to visit the Chinese capital shortly before his death in 2011, Bloomberg adds.
The train’s arrival was said to have “disrupted the whole railway schedule for northeast China, and people are observing that and drawing conclusions about who might be on that train,” according to Yun Sun, a North Korea and China expert at the Stimson Center who spoke with Business Insider.
It would “make perfect sense” for Kim to travel to Beijing “using father’s armored train,” tweeted O’Carrol, who said the rout was well-tested by North Korean security and that the blackout on state media covering the trip was consistent with trips his father, Kim Jong Il, made to Beijing.
