Senior Chinese Official Underscores Need to Boost Sino-DPRK Relations
Pyongyang, July 12 (KCNA) -- Wu Bangguo, chairman of the Standing Committee of Chinese National People's Congress, met with a friendship delegation headed by Yang Hyong Sop, vice-president of the Presidium of Supreme People's Assembly of the DPRK, in the Great Hall of the People, Beijing Monday and had a friendly talk with it.

Wu Bangguo said Premier Zhou Enlai and President Kim Il Sung signed the DPRK-China treaty of friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance 50 years ago, laying a legal foundation for the development of Sino-DPRK relations.

The three visits paid by General Secretary Kim Jong Il to China in recent years testify to the fact that the bilateral relations have entered a fresh stage of development, he noted.

He reiterated his will to bring the Sino-DPRK relations to a higher level together with the Korean comrades.

Recalling that Kim Jong Il has provided field guidance to many units related to people's living including industry and agriculture this year, he expressed belief that the Korean people would make greater successes under his leadership.
