China, North Korea agree to boost ties during Pyongyang summit

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and China’s Xi Jinping have held a summit in Pyongyang and agreed to expand cooperation between the two countries in various sectors, North Korea’s state media KCNA said.

The two leaders agreed to develop bilateral relations into a new chapter, KCNA said on Tuesday.

Kim told Xi that he would fully support the “One China principle,” which Beijing views as meaning both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one country, regardless of how the international situation changes, according to KCNA.

Xi, making his first visit to North Korea in seven years, told Kim that he would use his trip as an opportunity to make significant progress in bilateral relations, KCNA said.
