BEIJING -- A senior official of the Communist Party of China (CPC) said Friday that China is ready to work with the new leadership of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), to promote bilateral ties.
Liu Yunshan, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks when holding talks with a visiting WPK delegation.
The delegation is headed by Choe Thae Bok, member of both the political bureau and the secretariat of the WPK Central Committee, who is in Beijing to inform China of the WPK Conference.
Liu said he hoped the DPRK people could make more achievements in developing their economy and improving living standards under the leadership of the new leading collective headed by Kim Jong Il.
He pledged to maintain and carry on the tradition exercised by the two countries of informing each other of major issues, saying inter-party contacts could play a bigger role in strategic bilateral communication.
The CPC and the Chinese government unswervingly followed the principle of constantly reinforcing and promoting the China-DPRK friendship of cooperation, Liu said.
China was willing to work with the new WPK leadership to develop bilateral ties, realize more benefits for the two peoples and more contributions to lasting regional peace and common prosperity, he said.
Choe Thae Bok said the DPRK-China traditional friendship would be sure to continue to advance.
He also expressed congratulations on the 61st anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The Chinese people were bound to make greater progress in socialist modernization under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee headed by General Secretary Hu Jintao, Choe Thae Bok said.
According to DPRK's official news agency KCNA, the WPK Conference was held in Pyongyang Tuesday, and made decisions on three main agenda items, including the reelection of Kim Jong Il as general secretary of the WPK, the revision of the WPK Charter and the election of the new central leadership of the WPK.
