朝鲜领导人金正恩启动了朝鲜战争停战60周年的纪念活动。星期四，金正恩在平壤郊外一座刚落成的公墓向阵亡将士敬献了花圈。

这是金正恩较为罕见的一次露面。还有来自中美两国的退伍军人也参加了纪念活动。

平壤准备进行几天的活动，纪念韩战停战60周年。朝鲜认为自己赢得了这场持续三年的血腥战争。

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has kicked off his country's celebration of the 60th anniversary of the end of the Korean War.  Mr. Kim on Thursday paid his respects to the war dead and laid a wreath to commemorate the opening of a new cemetery outside Pyongyang.

It was a rare public appearance for the young leader, who was joined by war veterans from the United States, China, and his own country.

Pyongyang has planned several days of nationalistic celebrations of what it views as its victory in the bloody, three-year conflict.
