The DPRK embassy in Beijing hosted a New Year 2024 reception on February 22.

Present there at invitation were Wang Dongming, vice-chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China, and officials of relevant sectors of China including the Foreign Ministry, the International Liaison Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Central Military Commission, the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Ministry of Industry and IT.

On hand were DPRK Ambassador to China Ri Ryong Nam and staff members of his embassy.

Speeches were made there.

Ri Ryong Nam said that the traditional DPRK-China friendship, which was provided by the leaders of the elder generation of the two countries and stood all sorts of ordeals and difficulties of history, is now being invariably consolidated and developed generation after generation thanks to the deep trust and close relationship between the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un and Comrade Xi Jinping.

The ambassador wished the Chinese people steady successes in the struggle to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation under the leadership of the CPC headed by General Secretary Xi Jinping this year marking the 75th birthday of the People's Republic of China.

Wang Dongming said that the traditional China-DPRK friendship, which has steadily been promoted in the historic course of socialist construction and verified in the changing international situation, is a precious asset common to the peoples of the two countries.

He stressed that as a friendly neighbour, the Chinese people sincerely hope that under the guidance of the Workers' Party of Korea headed by General Secretary Kim Jong Un, the Korean people would achieve steady, fresh and greater successes in the struggle to implement the decisions of the Eighth WPK Congress and the plenary meetings of the Party Central Committee.
