Q: Can the spokesperson introduce the background of Premier Li Qiang’s visit to the DPRK and China’s expectations?
Answer: China and North Korea are traditional friendly neighbors. Maintaining, consolidating and developing China-North Korea relations has always been the unswerving strategic policy of the Chinese party and government. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Workers’ Party of Korea. China is willing to take this visit as an opportunity to work with the DPRK, guided by the important consensus reached by the top leaders of the two parties and two countries, to strengthen strategic communication, intensify exchanges and cooperation, and promote the continuous development of China-DPRK traditional friendly cooperative relations.
