Rusia y China envían representantes de alto nivel a Corea del Norte para las celebraciones en honor a los 80 años del partido gobernante. Informa Ramy Inocencio de CBS News.

Pyongyang

North Korea is welcoming high-level delegations from China and Russia as it commemorates the 80th anniversary of its ruling Workers' Party. China is represented by Vice Premier Li Qiang, the highest-ranking Chinese official to visit since before the COVID-19 pandemic, while Russia has sent former president Dmitry Medvedev. The event is expected to feature large displays of military strength and public adoration for leader Kim Jong-un. The presence of these foreign dignitaries, including leaders from Vietnam and Laos, signals North Korea's continued diplomatic ties with its traditional allies. South Korean officials have noted indications of a significant event accompanying the celebrations, reflecting North Korea's efforts to assert its relevance on the international stage.

Rusia y China envían representantes a Corea del Norte

Bienvenido de nuevo. En este momento, Corea del Norte está dando la bienvenida a los líderes extranjeros y dignatarios mientras la aislada nación se prepara para conmemorar los 80 años de la fundación de su gobernante Partido de los Trabajadores, con China y Rusia enviando representantes de alto nivel. CBS News corresponsal en el extranjero Remy Inocencio está viendo todo esto desde nuestra oficina de Londres y se une a nosotros ahora con más información. Buenos días, Remy. Así que, mira, pompa y circunstancia que podemos esperar en Corea del Norte, pero ¿cuál es el significado de los representantes chinos y rusos en Pyongyang ahora, ¿en estos días? Si, absolutamente. Y, ya sabes, en primer lugar, si el pasado es precedente para aniversarios como este, esperaremos ver un gran despliegue de armas y tropas norcoreanas y una intensa adoración por Kim Jong-un, quizás al borde de las lágrimas para algunos, que ya hemos visto en el pasado. Ese es el culto de la era de la dinastía de la familia Kim. Y vimos un teaser de eso ayer mismo, Figuras políticas y militares de Corea del Norte aplaudiéndole apasionadamente. Pronunció un discurso en el que elogió los últimos 80 años del Partido de los Trabajadores de Corea. Y este partido tiene sus raíces en el comunismo, pero está mezclado con el concepto norcoreano de autosuficiencia. Esto es desde el gobierno hasta la economía y su ejército y líderes extranjeros. Están llegando, han estado llegando para unirse a las celebraciones de mañana. Lo más importante es que China está representada por el viceprimer ministro Li Qiang. Es considerado el número dos después del presidente Xi Jinping y es el líder que más alto ha visitado desde antes de la COVID. Rusia envía a Dmitry Medvedev. Es el antiguo presidente. Y recuerda, Corea del Norte ha estado enviando a Rusia sus tropas, sus armas para su guerra en Ucrania. A la derecha, el presidente de Vietnam también viene, la primera vez en casi 20 años que lo hace el líder del país. Él y el presidente de Laos tienen el mismo posición de liderazgo que Kim Jong-un. Y a tu pregunta, es muy significativo ver aparecer a China y Rusia. Fue justo el mes pasado cuando Kim anotó esa importante victoria diplomática en Beijing con Xi Jinping junto a Vladimir Putin y realmente fuera del desierto político. Y así el escenario puede estar listo para algo similar en Pyongyang a ese desfile. Funcionarios de Corea del Sur ya han dicho que están viendo señales de que algo va a pasar que va a ser enorme mañana. Así que estaremos atentos a ese espacio. Sí, y también muestra que Corea del Norte puede no estar tan aislada como lo ha estado anteriormente. Un material fascinante, Ramy. Muchas gracias, Ramy.
