North Korea's state-run media widely reported related news on the 25th, the day after Chairman Kim Jong-un's visit to Dandong, Liaoning Province, China, and promoted the strong North Korea-China relationship to residents.
State-run media, including the Korean Central News Agency and Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the Workers' Party, released related news and 39 photos on the 25th, the day after Chairman Kim's visit to China.
The front page of the Rodong Sinmun was filled with news of Chairman Kim's visit to Dandong ahead of the anniversary of China's participation in the Korean War.
A large photo of Chairman Kim shaking hands with Wang Huning, chairman of the National People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), who is ranked fourth in the hierarchy of power and came to meet China, was placed in the center.
On pages 2 and 3, it contained photos of Chairman Kim's major events, such as laying a wreath at the Anti-U.S. Resistance and Assistance Monument, visiting the memorial hall, and inspecting the bus factory.
Korean Central Television aired a detailed 18-minute schedule of Chairman Kim's schedule prior to his visit to Dandong.
Key scenes were introduced one by one, including the scene where Chairman Kim's car procession crosses the empty New Yalu River Bridge, the reception of Chinese officials, the visit to the Anti-U.S. Resistance and Assistance Memorial Hall, and the visit to industrial sites.
This is the first time that Chairman Kim crossed the Chinese border by car. It is presumed that the vehicle was transported on a private train from Pyongyang to Sinuiju and then crossed the border by car from Sinuiju.
During the previous five visits to China, they traveled by private train or private plane ‘Gosmae No. 1’.
