From May 7 to 8, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee and President Xi Jinping met with Kim Jong-un, Chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea and Chairman of the State Council, in Dalian. At the critical moment of the profound and complex evolution of the current situation on the Korean Peninsula, Xi Jinping and Kim Jong Un met twice in more than 40 days, which is of great significance.

 
Topic One: Traditional Friendship

Xi Jinping emphasized that the inheritance and development of China-North Korea relations is "a strategic choice made by both sides based on history and reality, based on the international and regional structure and the overall situation of China-North Korea relations. It is also the only correct choice, and it should not and will not change due to temporary events".

The "four-pronged consensus" reached at the meeting in the warm spring season is like a warm heart:

-The traditional friendship between China and North Korea is the common precious wealth of both sides. The development of friendly and cooperative relations between China and North Korea is the unswerving policy of both sides and the only correct choice.

-Consolidating the foundation of people-to-people friendship is an important way to promote the development of China-DPRK relations. It is necessary to strengthen exchanges between the two peoples through various forms to create a good foundation of public opinion for the development of China-DPRK relations.
 

The meeting in early May was held under the background that "with the joint efforts of both sides, various consensus is being well implemented. "Since my first meeting with Comrade Chairman, China-North Korea relations and the situation on the Korean Peninsula have made positive progress. I am pleased with this," Xi Jinping said. "I am willing to meet again with Comrade Chairman to jointly promote the healthy and stable development of China-North Korea relations., To achieve long-term stability on the Korean Peninsula and promote regional peace, stability and prosperity".

Cherishing peace and respecting the development path independently chosen by all countries is an important concept repeatedly mentioned by Xi Jinping on international occasions, and it is also an inevitable requirement of the basic norms of international relations and the trend of the times.
