South Korea will send a high-level military delegation to China's upcoming military parade marking the end of World War II, a Chinese organizer of the parade said Tuesday.

Qu Rui, deputy director of the Office of the Parade Leading Team of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, said 11 countries, including Russia, Pakistan and Mexico, will send their troops to march together with Chinese troops during the parade.

South Korea is among 31 nations that will send "high-level military delegations to China to attend the parade," Qu said.

North Korea is not among the countries that will send troops or military delegations to the Chinese parade.

South Korean President Park Geun-hye will be in China from Sept. 2-4 to attend events marking the 70th anniversary of the victory, though it remains undecided on whether she will attend the military parade. (Yonhap)
