A media representative asked, the leader of North Korea will attend the commemorative activities for the 80th anniversary of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. What is the Chinese side's view on this visit by the leader of North Korea?

Hong Lei, assistant director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that China and North Korea are traditional friendly neighboring countries with contiguous mountains and rivers. We warmly welcome General Secretary Kim Jong Un to come to China to attend the commemorative activities.

Hong Lei said that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, as well as the 80th anniversary of the liberation of North Korea. In the arduous and extraordinary war years, the people of China and North Korea supported each other and jointly resisted Japanese aggression, making significant contributions to the victory of the world anti-fascist war and the cause of human justice.

Hong Lei pointed out that safeguarding, consolidating, and developing Sino-North Korean relations is the firm position of the Chinese government and the Communist Party. The Chinese side is willing to continue to work with North Korea in strengthening exchanges and cooperation and advancing the socialist construction, and closely cooperate in promoting regional peace and stability and maintaining international fairness and justice, and write a new chapter in the traditional friendship between China and North Korea.
