BEIJING, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held talks with Democratic People's Republic of Korea Foreign Minister Choi Son-hee in Beijing on Sunday, saying that maintaining, strengthening and developing bilateral relations is the unwavering strategic policy of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese government.
Wang Yi, also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, noted that China and the DPRK are friendly neighbors, connected by shared mountains and rivers. He stated that the traditional friendship forged and nurtured by the older generations of leaders of the two parties and countries is a shared and valuable asset for both sides.
As the Chinese diplomat recalled, earlier this month, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee Xi Jinping and General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea Kim Jong-un held a historic meeting and reached important agreements, indicating the direction and outlining a plan for the development of relations between China and the DPRK.
Wang Yi said the two sides need to implement the important consensus of the top leaders of the two parties and two countries, strengthen strategic communication, and carry out closer exchanges and cooperation, so as to further improve the well-being of the two peoples and jointly promote peace and development in the region.
The Chinese Foreign Minister spoke about the domestic situation in China. He noted that China and North Korea are socialist countries with shared ideals and goals, and therefore the two sides should expand the exchange of governance experiences to advance socialism in their respective countries.
China highly appreciates the DPRK's firm support for China's core interests and major concerns, as well as its support for Xi Jinping's vision of building a community with a shared future for humanity, the Initiative on Global Development, the Initiative on Global Security, the Initiative on Global Civilization, and the Initiative on Global Governance, Wang Yi emphasized.
He added that China expects to strengthen coordination and cooperation with the DPRK in international and regional affairs, oppose any form of hegemony, and protect the common interests of both sides, as well as international fairness and justice.
Choi Song-hee, in turn, stated that the celebrations in China to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War fully demonstrated China's historical achievements, its comprehensive national strength, and international status.
According to the DPRK Foreign Minister, the historic meeting between the top leaders of the two parties and two countries provided strategic guidance and gave strong impetus to deepening relations between the DPRK and China.
The North Korean side is ready to work with China to implement the consensus reached by the top leaders of the two parties and two countries, strengthen strategic communication, expand friendly exchanges, deepen practical cooperation, and contribute to raising relations between the DPRK and the PRC to a new, higher level, Choi Song-hui said.
She emphasized that the DPRK is ready to closely cooperate with China in multilateral affairs, jointly oppose unilateralism and power politics, and contribute to the construction of a more just world order. –0–
