July 11 marks the 65th anniversary of the conclusion of the DPRK-China Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance.

On July 11 1961, President Kim Il Sung signed the treaty, a firm legal guarantee for everlastingly consolidating and developing the DPRK-China friendly and cooperative ties, together with Premier Zhou Enlai.

The treaty served as an important milestone in strengthening the strategic cooperation between the two countries and as a driving force for the struggle of the Korean and Chinese peoples for socialism.

Since the conclusion of the treaty, the two countries have dynamically pushed forward the common cause of socialism and the development of the friendly relations.

In the spirit of the treaty based on the principles of complete equality, respect for sovereignty and non-interference in internal affairs, the parties and peoples of the two countries have made great progress in socialist construction, closely cooperating in various fields, including politics, economy and culture, and contributed greatly to ensuring peace and security in the region and the rest of the world.

The present international political situation in which global peace and security are constantly threatened due to the reckless military adventure and hegemony-seeking policy of the hostile forces further emphasizes the significance of the treaty.

The global security environment is becoming more and more critical. The aggressor forces are getting ever more frantic in their military moves and offensive in the Asia-Pacific region challenging the trend of the times. The hostile forces are persistently trying to check the development of the DPRK and China and undermine the bilateral friendship and unity.

However, the DPRK-China relations are demonstrating their durability and invincibility despite the harsh circumstances thanks to the tradition of friendship established and consolidated through the common struggle.

It is the steadfast stand of the Workers’ Party of Korea and the DPRK government to steadily develop the DPRK-China friendly relations with an admirable history and tradition.

Even under the complicated international situation, the two countries are waging a dynamic struggle to defend socialism, their common cause, while intensifying the strategic and tactical cooperation under the special care and wise leadership of the leaders of the two parties and two countries.

In recent years, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, General Secretary of the WPK and President of the State Affairs of the DPRK, had several meetings with Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and President of the People’s Republic of China, which served as epoch-making events that put the traditional DPRK-China friendship on a new high stage and developed it steadily.

Last June, the top leaders of the two parties and two countries deepened their revolutionary friendship and comradely ties through the historic Pyongyang summit and clarified at home and abroad their firm will to develop the traditional DPRK-China friendly relations into the most powerful and strategic model relations between the socialist states.

According to the noble intention of the top leaders of the two parties and two countries, the peoples of the two countries are making positive efforts to develop the DPRK-China friendly relations on a new level by constantly displaying the spirit of the DPRK-China Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance.
