Chinese President Xi Jinping reaffirmed China's commitment to strengthening ties with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) in a congratulatory message sent Tuesday to DPRK leader Kim Jong Un. The exchange marks the 77th anniversary of the DPRK's founding, underscoring enduring diplomatic relations between the two neighbors.
Xi, who also serves as General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, emphasized Beijing's willingness to enhance strategic communication and practical cooperation with Pyongyang. "China stands ready to join hands with the DPRK to promote our traditional friendship and advance the socialist cause," the message stated, highlighting shared goals for regional stability and global development.
The exchange comes amid evolving geopolitical dynamics in Northeast Asia, with analysts noting its potential implications for inter-Korean dialogue and broader security frameworks. The Chinese leader's emphasis on "peace and development" aligns with recent multilateral efforts to address economic and security challenges across Asia.
