Traditional friendship with DPRK flourishes
China and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) will work
hard to push forward co-operation and friendship, said President Hu Jintao and
Premier Wen Jiabao Tuesday during a meeting with Kim Yong-nam, the DPRK's top
legislator.
Consensus on developing a new century-oriented relationship has been
reached under the efforts of leaders of the two neighbouring states and will
create fresh vitality and energy for bilateral ties, Hu said.
China will, together with the DPRK, follow the guidelines of "inheriting
traditions, facing the future, good-neighbourliness and strengthening
co-operation'' in pushing forward exchanges and co-operation in all aspects,
said the Chinese President. The
nations will also seek further co-operation and co-ordination in dealing with
regional and international issues in order to bring benefits to the countries
and peoples, Hu said. The
commemoration of 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations
bears significant importance to relations, said Kim, who is on his first visit
to China in five years. The
DPRK praises highly the friendly policies that China has stuck to towards the
DPRK over the past and will push bilateral ties to a new high, Kim said.
Exchanging views on the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue, the leaders
agreed to seek a nuclear-free peninsula through a peaceful solution by way of
continued dialogue. Premier Wen Jiabao said he hopes the sides can gradually set up a
co-operative mechanism to ensure healthy development of trade and economic
co-operation, encourage entrepreneurs to trade and invest, as well conduct
personnel training and technological co-operation.
Echoing Wen's views, Kim said friendly relations have been enhanced and
beneficial co-operation in economic fields has smoothly developed in recent
years. Wen
reiterated that China will continue to provide economic aid to DPRK.
Wen
said that all sides related to the nuclear issue should be restrained, seek
trust and reduce differences through continued talks.
Kim
said that the DPRK upholds China's policy of "one country, two systems" in
reuniting its country. Before the meetings with the Chinese leaders, Kim was taken on a tour of
Hancunhe, a model village on the outskirts of Beijing.
Upon reaching Beijing on Monday, Kim will also visit Tianjin, a city in North China. |
