2023-07-30 08:26:30

[Voice of Hope July 30, 2023](Comprehensive report by our reporter Yue Liu) This Thursday (July 27) marks the 70th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un handed over a letter from Chinese President Xi Jinping.

“No matter how the international situation changes, maintaining, consolidating and developing China-North Korea relations has always been the firm policy direction of the Chinese Communist Party and the government,” Xi wrote in the letter, according to a report by the Communist Party’s official media, Xinhua News Agency.

The “Yonhap News Agency” reported that Xi Jinping threatened in the letter that the two communist countries have “a comradeship written in blood” due to the casualties of the Korean War.

However, the full content of Xi Jinping’s “bloody” letter has not yet been made public.

It is reported that the Chinese delegation is not the only state visit team visiting Pyongyang this week. On Wednesday (July 26), the defense ministers of Russia and North Korea held a bilateral meeting in the capital of the secretive, isolated country. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu met with North Korean Defense Minister Kang Sun-nam, expressing a desire to strengthen cooperation.

“For Russia, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is an important partner with whom we share borders and a rich history of cooperation,” Shoigu claimed, according to the Moscow Times.

A press release issued by the Russian Defense Ministry showed footage and photos of the meeting between the two Eastern military leaders.

In July 2022, North Korea threatened to recognize the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk republics in Ukraine. Ukraine, which had been devastated by Russia’s war of aggression, categorically announced that it would sever diplomatic relations with this communist country.
