North Korean leader Kim Jong Un

Kim Jong Un's daughter Kim Ju Ae was the star at a banquet for military top brass in Pyongyang ahead of a big parade, which could reveal new missiles.

Kim Jong Un is the third generation of his family to rule the totalitarian state since it was founded by his grandfather, Kim Il Sung, in 1948. But the question of whether a woman could run North Korea is a complex one, female defectors and researchers say. At the banquet, Kim Jong Un called for development of the country’s military. “By showing his daughter next to the ICBM, [Kim] is announcing to the world and his people that [North Korea] will never give up its nuclear program and it will be carried on throughout his lineage,” Tae said. The girl’s hair is styled to look like the do worn by her stylish mother, first lady Ri Sol Ju, and she wears a no-nonsense black skirt suit and sensible shoes. As they walk into the banquet hall, military leaders, their jackets bedecked with medals, stand to applaud.

North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un's appearance at a military parade with his daughter fueled speculation that she is being groomed as a future leader.

State media reports didn’t immediately mention whether Kim Jong Un delivered a speech during the event. North Korean photos released Thursday showed Kim, wearing a black coat and fedora, attending the parade with his wife and daughter. On Tuesday, Kim brought her to visit troops as he lauded the “irresistible might” of his nuclear-armed military.

The change would lead to a revamp of a decades-old US policy aimed at preventing that from happening, while seeking the complete, verifiable and irreversible end of its atomic arsenal. State media now calls her the “respected daughter” and the appearances are stoking speculation she’s being groomed for a leadership role. “Of course, being in a canister we do not see the actual missile associated with this system and for parade purposes it is likely empty anyway.” The display of the weapons and his daughter, thought to be named Ju Ae and about 10 years old, sent a message to the world that North Korea won’t be bargaining away its nuclear arsenal any time soon. The Hwasong-17 is designed to carry multiple warheads and North Korea said it was successfully tested last year. The solid-propellant missiles would be easier to move and quicker to fire than the state’s current arsenal of liquid-fuel ICBMs, giving Washington less time to shoot one down.

Kim Jong-Un's daughter's latest appearance has sparked questions about her future in North Korea.

North Korea has never been led by a woman, despite having some women in high places - Kim's sister Kim Yo-Jong is the most prominent example. Kim Jong-Un will want to ensure he passes the mantle down to the fourth generation. Only after Kim Jong-Un's status as future leader was cemented, was he referred to as "respected comrade". She was first introduced in state media as Kim Jong-Un's "beloved" daughter. Perhaps Mr Kim just wanted to portray himself as a good father or make crystal clear his family, with all its weapons, was here to stay. But it was not just his weapons that Kim Jong-Un was parading.
