SEOUL, July 9 (Yonhap) -- North Korean Premier Pak Thae-song will make an official visit to China to mark the 65th anniversary of the signing of a friendship treaty between the two nations, Pyongyang's state media said Thursday.
A North Korean delegation, led by Pak, will travel to China to "take part in the event marking the 65th anniversary of the conclusion of the DPRK-China Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual assistance," at the invitation of China's Communist Party, the Korean Central News Agency said.
