North Korea Emphasizes North Korea-China Friendship Treaty... "An Inseparable Relationship"

[Asia Economy Reporter Joselgina] North Korea, a fortnight before the 60th anniversary of the North Korea-China Friendship Treaty, emphasized friendship by stating that the fate with China is an inseparable relationship.

On the 26th, the North Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs posted on its website, "The North Korea-China (Jo-Chung) friendship and cooperation relationship will be further solidified and developed under Comrade Kim Jong Un and Comrade Xi Jinping," stating this.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs mentioned the 60th anniversary of the North Korea-China Friendship Treaty, emphasizing, "Time has passed and many things have changed, but the truth that the fate of the peoples of the two countries, North Korea and China, is an inseparable relationship remains unchanged."

The North Korea-China Friendship Treaty, signed on July 11, 1961, centers on the provision that if one country is subject to a military attack, the other country will automatically intervene in the war.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs referred to visits by the North Korea-China leaders, exchanged congratulatory telegrams, and letters, stating, "Here, we have once again confirmed the truth of the invincibility of the North Korea-China friendship, which cannot be found in the relations between any other countries."

It also emphasized, "Despite the complex and diverse international situation, the historic tradition of North Korea-China friendship to unite, cooperate, and support each other will continue more persistently."

Recently, North Korea has been showcasing its relationship with its ally China amid the intensifying US-China hegemony competition. The fact that it mentioned the 60th anniversary of the North Korea-China Friendship Treaty well in advance, with about a fortnight remaining, is also interpreted in this context.
