B: Just a bit... North Korea's celebrating 80 years of their ruling party today, you know?
A: Oh really? That sounds big! Any parade or something?
B: Yeah, they're saying it'll involve tens of thousands of people. Not seen that since July 2023, when they last did one for the Korean War armistice anniversary.
A: Wow, that's a lot of people! Do you think they'll show off new weapons like they usually do?

A: That's intense! And who's visiting North Korea now?
B: Chinese Premier Li Qiang and former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev are there. Seems like they want to show unity with friendly countries, like China and Russia, and maybe get their support if talks with the U.S. happen.
