daughter alongside her father during a military parade this week has fuelled speculation the girl is being groomed as his eventual successor.
She has now made five appearances in less than three months, fuelling speculation she could become a future leader of the secretive nation. Analysts say Kim's decision to bring her daughter to public events tied to his military is to remind the world he has no intentions to voluntarily surrender his nuclear weapons, which he apparently sees as the strongest guarantee of his survival and the extension of his family's dynastic rule.
Other observers said it's clear Kim has made a choice of his successor, confirming speculation that began with the girl's appearance in November at the missile launch.
