N. Korea's Kim reaffirms relations with China in letter with Xi Jinping: KCNA
By Park Boram
SEOUL, March 10 (Yonhap) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong-un reaffirmed his country's unwavering stance to advance ties with China in reply to a letter from Chinese President Xi Jinping, the North's state media said Tuesday.
Kim sent the letter to Xi the previous day in response to a message congratulating him on his reelection as general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea at a party congress last month, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said.
"It is an unwavering stance of our party and the government to solidify and develop the traditional North Korea-China friendship in a way that meets the new demands of the times and the aims of the two countries' peoples," Kim was quoted as saying.
"I believe that cooperation between the North Korean and Chinese parties and the two countries will grow closer on their common path to advance the socialist cause," Kim also noted.
