North Korean Premier Pak Thae-song will make an official visit to China to mark the 65th anniversary of the Friendship Treaty between the two nations. A delegation led by Pak will attend the event at the invitation of China's Communist Party.
North Korean state media KCNA reported on July 9 that a delegation led by Premier Pak Thae-song will travel to China to take part in an event marking the 65th anniversary of the conclusion of the Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance. The two countries signed the treaty on July 11, 1961, by Kim Il-sung and then Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai.
China's Foreign Ministry said Pak will visit China from Friday to Sunday to attend the anniversary event, according to Xinhua. KCNA did not specify the exact dates of departure or the event.
North Korean leader Kim and Chinese President Xi Jinping held summit talks in Pyongyang last month and vowed to strengthen bilateral ties through expanded exchanges across multiple sectors, from economy to culture.
