China committed to enhancing friendly ties, cooperation with DPRK: senior CPC official

Xinhua, October 10, 2015 Adjust font size:

It has been the steadfast policy of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Chinese government to enhance and develop friendly and cooperative ties with the DPRK, which serve the common interests of the two parties and the two peoples, a senior CPC official said here Saturday.

Liu Yunshan, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks when meeting Kim Yong Nam, President of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).

Liu said during their meeting Friday that he and Kim Jong Un, the first secretary of DPRK's ruling Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), exchanged views and reached extensive consensus on inheriting and carrying on the China-DPRK traditional friendship while developing the friendly ties between the two parties and the two countries.

China is willing to work with the DPRK to maintain high-level exchanges and political communication, promote economic and trade cooperation, enhance people-to-people exchanges and intensify collaboration in regional and international affairs so as to better serve the two nations and their peoples and to play a constructive role in safeguarding regional peace and stability, Liu stressed.

Liu, also a member of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, said he was glad to see encouraging changes and new achievements made in various fields in the years between his visits.

The CPC and the Chinese government would, as always, support the DPRK in seeking a development path compatible with its own national conditions, added Liu.

For his part, Kim Yong Nam said the Chinese delegation's visit on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the WPK fully embodied the China-DPRK traditional friendship and their friendly ties.

Extending his congratulation to China on the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II and the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Kim said he wished China could make greater achievements in party building and in realizing healthy and steady development in economy. Endi
