⚡️🇰🇵🇨🇳 — North Korean leader Kim Jong-un reaffirmed his commitment to raising DPRK-China ties to a «new strategic level» in a congratulatory letter to Chinese President Xi Jinping marking China’s 77th National Day. Kim said the two countries, which marked the 65th anniversary of their friendship treaty this year, are expanding exchanges «in all fields», and said his two meetings with Xi last year and this year confirmed their intention to develop bilateral ties into «the most powerful and strategic relations between socialist states». He also reaffirmed his «steadfast will» to develop their traditional relations of unity and cooperation. — Yonhap, citing KCNA

➡️ The outlet noted that this year’s message was nearly twice as long as Kim’s 2024 letter and shifted from an emphasis on traditional friendship toward «most powerful and strategic» relations, calling this a possible sign of warming ties.
