Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi paid tribute on April 10, 2026, at the cemetery of Chinese People’s Volunteers (CPV) martyrs in Kangdong County, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), during his official visit. Wang, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, emphasized the enduring significance of China-DPRK relations rooted in shared history.
He praised the DPRK’s efforts to preserve CPV memorial sites, calling them vital symbols of the “traditional friendship forged in blood” between the two nations. Wang stressed that these sites must inspire future generations to uphold the CPV’s spirit of sacrifice and strengthen bilateral cooperation.
The visit underscores ongoing efforts to deepen diplomatic ties, with Wang highlighting the need for continued collaboration in regional stability and development. His remarks align with commemorations marking over seven decades since the CPV’s contributions during the Korean War, a cornerstone of cross-border solidarity.
