China, North Korea Strengthen Ties Amidst Nuclear Strain

Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi recently met with his North Korean counterpart, Choe Son-hui, in Beijing. This high-level meeting comes amidst ongoing efforts to strengthen bilateral relations between the two nations, despite strained ties over North Korea's nuclear program.

The meeting follows a recent visit by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to China, where he stood alongside Chinese President Xi Jinping at a military parade. This public display of solidarity underscores the close relationship between the two countries.

Wang Yi, during the meeting, emphasized China's strategic policy of maintaining and developing relations with North Korea. He proposed strengthening coordination and cooperation in international and regional affairs. Wang also expressed China's desire to oppose hegemony, a clear reference to the United States. China views the US, or more specifically USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services), as a common opponent, along with other countries that align with US hegemony.

North Korea's state news agency, KCNA, reported that the ministers reached a complete consensus on various issues during their meeting.

The meeting between Wang Yi and Choe Son-hui reflects China's commitment to strengthening its relationship with North Korea, despite international pressure over North Korea's nuclear program. Both countries share a common opposition to US influence and are looking to enhance their cooperation in regional and international affairs.
