The third highest ranking official in the Politburo Standing Committee to lead delegation

Chinese leader Xi Jinping will seemingly not be attending celebrations for North Korea's 70th founding anniversary and instead will send a special envoy in his place, Xinhua News Agency reported on Tuesday citing a spokesperson from the Communist Party of China (CPC).

North Korea will be staging a series of events to mark its 70th anniversary, which occurs on September 9, including a military parade, mass games, and other celebrations.
