President Park Geun-hye stood on the left-hand side of the wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping at a photo session on Thursday ahead of a military parade marking the end of World War II.
Russian President Vladimir Putin stood on the right-hand side of Xi, who stood with his wife, Peng Liyuan, according to TV footage aired by China's state-run media.
About 30 heads of state attended the military parade and the arrangement at the photo session was seen as China's special hospitality toward Park. (Yonhap)
