STORY: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un crossed the border into China on his special train early Tuesday (September 2) to attend China's celebration of the formal surrender of Japan in World War Two, North Korean state media said on Tuesday.

Kim left Pyongyang for China on Monday (September 1) and crossed into China early Tuesday morning, North Korea's state newspaper Rodong Sinmun said on Tuesday. Kim is expected to arrive in Beijing Tuesday morning.

North Korea's official news agency KCNA released a picture of Kim and officials including Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui, sitting inside train. Rodong Sinmun also showed pictures of Kim standing outside of dark green special train, which appeared to be similar to the bulletproof train he has used before to travel to other countries such as China and Russia.

Meanwhile, North Korea on Monday expressed support for remarks made by Chinese President Xi Jinping at a summit calling for fairer global governance, adding that cooperation between North Korea and China will grow to pursue such a value, according to a vice foreign minister in comments posted on the North Korean foreign ministry's website.
