Chinese official in North Korea to discuss how to boost co-operation between the countries
A top Chinese official arrived in North Korea and held talks on how to boost their co-operation, North Korea’s state media reported Friday, in the counties’ highest-level meeting in about five years.
Zhao met his North Korean counterpart Choe Ryong Hae later Thursday and discussed how to promote exchanges and co-operation on all areas such as politics, economy and culture, the North’s official Korean Central News Agency reported. Zhao is one of the seven members of the Politburo Standing Committee, the Communist Party’s top leadership body headed by Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Zhao’s visit to North Korea marked the first bilateral exchange involving a Chinese Politburo Standing Committee member since the coronavirus pandemic started. In 2019, the two countries held two summit meetings between Xi and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
North Korea has been seeking to boost its co-operation with China and Russia in the face of a standoff with the United States and South Korea over the North’s advancing nuclear program.
