Xi pledges China’s commitment to North Korea
SEOUL: Chinese President Xi Jinping said China’s commitment to its traditional friendship with North Korea would not change regardless of developments in the international situation, according to letters exchanged with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and published Saturday by North Korean state media KCNA. Kim, in a letter to Xi, said bilateral friendship and cooperation had reached a “new strategic level”, KCNA reported.
North Korean Prime Minister Pak Thae Song arrived in Beijing on Friday for a three-day visit to attend an event marking the 65th anniversary of the friendship treaty between the two neighbors. Xi traveled to Pyongyang last month for his first visit to North Korea in seven years, where he and Kim agreed to expand cooperation in politics, economics and culture.
The Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance, signed on July 11, 1961, remains China’s only active mutual defense agreement. “Regardless of developments in the international situation, the Communist Party of China and the Chinese government will continue to attach great importance to the traditional friendship between China and North Korea, continue to firmly support North Korea’s socialist cause under the leadership of General Secretary Kim Jong Un, and remain firmly committed to safeguarding the two countries’ common interests and a favorable strategic environment,” Xi said. -Reuters
North Korea on Saturday condemned the United States and its allies for what it called strengthening military blocs and accelerating weapons production after this week’s NATO summit. Pyongyang accused NATO leaders of portraying North Korea’s exercise of its legitimate sovereign rights as a threat, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement carried by state media KCNA. The alliance demonstrated a stronger commitment to bloc-to-bloc confrontation through increased arms spending and closer military cooperation with allies in the Asia-Pacific region, the ministry said.
At the NATO summit in Turkey on Tuesday, officials announced more than $50 billion in military purchases and industrial deals as European allies face continued pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump to shoulder more of the alliance’s defense burden. President Lee Jae Myung of Pyongyang’s rival South Korea said on the sidelines of the summit that he hoped Seoul would expand cooperation with NATO allies in research and development, particularly in advanced technologies, and in the production of weapons systems. North Korea said the summit showed NATO was an organization oriented toward war and confrontation, pursuing what Pyongyang described as exclusive geopolitical interests at the expense of peace and security in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.
Pyongyang, which says Western efforts to abandon nuclear weapons have been irreversibly halted, instead believes denuclearization efforts should focus first on what it describes as attempts by South Korea and Japan to develop their own nuclear weapons under U.S. protection, as well as the nuclear ambitions of NATO members participating in the alliance’s nuclear sharing agreements, the ministry said. He said North Korea will safeguard its sovereignty and security interests, as well as regional peace, through the responsible exercise of its sovereign rights.
KCNA said Friday that North Korea has decided to take steps to strengthen its nuclear forces “quantitatively and qualitatively” as leader Kim Jong Un calls for modernizing his military. -Reuters
