🇰🇵🇨🇳 Pyongyang Accelerates Rapprochement with Beijing

North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui sent Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi a congratulatory message calling for relations between China and North Korea to be raised to a “higher level”.

In the message, Choe referred to Kim Jong-un and Xi Jinping’s summit in Pyongyang in June and promised to implement the agreements reached by the heads of state. The previous day, Kim himself had sent Xi a separate message, also emphasizing the special nature of the relations between the two countries.

The two statements by the DPRK’s top leadership in direct succession show that Pyongyang is once again demonstratively counting its China policy among its most important foreign-policy priorities.
