Xinhua News Agency, Dandong, Liaoning, October 24 (Reporter Dong Xue) Wang Huning, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, accompanied Kim Jong Un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and Chairman of the State Council, to visit Dandong and conveyed the cordial greetings and good wishes of General Secretary and President Xi Jinping.
On the morning of that day, Wang Huning welcomed Kim Jong-un at the square of the Memorial Hall to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea and accompanied him to lay a flower basket at the Memorial Tower to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. The national anthems of China and North Korea were played at the scene. Accompanied by the soulful "Flower Presentation Song", the soldiers of honor slowly carried the flower basket to the platform. "Always remember the martyrs of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army" written in Korean on the ribbon of the flower basket. Kim Jong-un climbed onto the platform, stopped in front of the flower basket, and carefully arranged the ribbons. All personnel paid a silent tribute to the martyrs of the Chinese People’s Volunteer Army, and the atmosphere at the scene was solemn and solemn. Kim Jong-un walked into the Memorial Hall to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea and visited precious cultural relics and historical materials showing the heroic battles of volunteer soldiers and China and North Korea fighting side by side. Kim Jong-un presented historical photos with personal inscriptions to the memorial hall.
During the meeting between the two parties, Wang Huning said that Comrade General Secretary Kim Jong-un made a special visit to Dandong on the occasion of the 76th anniversary of the Chinese People's Volunteers' mission to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea. This fully reflects the value that the North Korean party and government attach to the blood-bonded friendship between China and North Korea. It is of great significance not only to continue the traditional friendship between China and North Korea, to consolidate friendly public opinion, but also to deepen political mutual trust and seek common cooperation and development. In September last year and June this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping and Comrade General Secretary Xi Jinping achieved historic exchanges of visits and reached a series of important consensuses, leading China-DPRK traditional friendly cooperative relations into a new historical period. China is willing to work with the DPRK to unswervingly implement the important consensus reached by the top leaders of the two parties and the two countries, and use the common socialist cause as a bond to further promote the development of China-DPRK relations. Take the opening of the new Yalu River Bridge between China and North Korea as an opportunity to expand personnel exchanges and economic and trade cooperation to better benefit the people of the two countries. Strengthen strategic communication and collaboration to create a peaceful and stable external environment for safeguarding their respective sovereignty, security and development interests.
Kim Jong-un asked Wang Huning to convey his cordial greetings and best wishes to General Secretary Xi Jinping, and wished the fifth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China a successful convening. Kim Jong-un said that I made a special trip to Dandong this time to commemorate the martyrs of the Chinese People’s Volunteers who supported North Korea with their lives and blood at this important historical juncture, and to express North Korea’s sincere gratitude and eternal respect for the heroes who resisted the United States and aided North Korea. Comrade General Secretary Xi Jinping's historic visit to North Korea in June this year reflected the great importance attached to North Korea-China relations and became a milestone in the development of bilateral relations. This year marks the 65th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance between North Korea and China. I would like to thank China for its long-term support and assistance to North Korea’s socialist cause. The prospects for cooperation between the two sides are very broad. The DPRK admires that under the leadership of Comrade General Secretary Xi Jinping, the Chinese people have achieved world-renowned development achievements and won their due important international status, and is willing to work with China to inherit historical friendship, expand practical cooperation, and bring tangible benefits to the two peoples.
In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Huning accompanied Kim Jong-un to visit the automobile factory in Dandong, inspected the production workshop, and listened to the situation briefing. When Kim Jong-un left Dandong, Wang Huning went to the China-North Korea New Yalu River Bridge to see him off.
