North Korean leader Kim Jong-un met with a Chinese delegation that visited Pyongyang to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the end of the Korean War and vowed to develop the two countries' relations to a "new high," the North's state media said Saturday.
Kim hosted a reception for the Chinese officials led by Communist Party Politburo member Li Hongzhong, Friday. The Chinese delegation was the first since the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Reaffirmed at the talk was the stand of the parties and governments of the two countries to cope with the complicated international situation on their own initiative and steadily develop the friendship and comradely cooperation onto a new high stage," the North's KCNA news agency said.
The meeting took place after Chinese and Russian officials stood shoulder to shoulder with Kim, Thursday, as they reviewed his newest nuclear-capable missiles and attack drones at a military parade in the capital. (Reuters)
