Chinese President Xi Jinping is holding talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Beijing on Thursday (Sep 4). Kim is currently in China and attended the Victory Day military parade in Tiananmen Square, marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. He also met Russian President Vladimir Putin. Jinping told the North Korean leader of China's enduring support for ties with Pyongyang. He also said that China attaches "great importance to the traditional friendship between China and the DPRK and (is) willing to maintain, consolidate and develop China-DPRK relations," state news agency Xinhua reported. "No matter how the international situation changes, this position will not change."
The Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun had told reporters ahead of the meeting that China is ready to strengthen strategic communication and enhance exchanges and cooperation with North Korea. She added that both countries are looking forward to deepening the sharing of governance experience and advancing the respective socialist causes and the traditional friendly cooperative relations. China remains North Korea's most important ally after their relationship was forged in the bloodshed of the Korean War in the 1950s.
During the parade, the world saw the three leaders walking shoulder to shoulder together for the first time, prompting conversations around a new world order amid Donald Trump's protectionist policies. While Trump stated that the three leaders had met to conspire against the US, China denied the allegations, and Putin said that the US president has a ‘good sense of humour.’
