President Xi Jinping told North Korean leader Kim Jong Un of China’s enduring support for ties with Pyongyang, state media reported Thursday as the two leaders met in Beijing.
China attaches “great importance to the traditional friendship between China and the DPRK and (is) willing to maintain, consolidate and develop China-DPRK relations,” state news agency Xinhua reported, using the acronym for North Korea.
“No matter how the international situation changes, this position will not change.”
