Wang said the traditional friendship between China and DPRK has increasingly developed. He emphasized China’s readiness to work with DPRK to strengthen communication and coordination, deepen exchanges and cooperation in all fields, and successfully organize a series of activities commemorating the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries next year, and promote the sustained and steady development of China-DPRK friendly and cooperative relations.

Pak said it is the unswerving position of the DPRK side to continuously develop DPRK-China relations. The DPRK will continue to strengthen multilateral coordination with China to safeguard common interests and regional peace and stability, he added.
