Virtual knots were first introduced by L. Kauffman, which are a generalization of classical knots and links. They lead us to the notion of virtual braids, which are closely related with welded braids of R. Fenn, R. Rimányi and C. Rourke. It is proved that any virtual knot is uniquely described as the closure of a virtual braid modulo certain basic moves. This is analogous to the Alexander and Markov theorem for classical knots and braids. A similar result is proved for welded knots and braids Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 57M25.
