Cooperation between the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and China remains good, the head of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) said Thursday.
Choe Thae Bok, secretary of the Central Committee of the WPK spoke during a meeting with a Communist Party of China (CPC) delegation in Pyongyang.
Choe said he believed the "DPRK-China Friendly Year," initiated by the top leaders of both countries, would make ample achievements through mutual efforts.
Luo Shugang, deputy head of the Department of Publicity of the CPC Central Committee, said it was the persistent stand of the CPC and Chinese government to consolidate and develop friendly China-DPRK cooperation.
China will make efforts, along with the DPRK, to advance their bilateral ties, he said.
The CPC delegation arrived at Pyongyang on Monday for a five-day goodwill visit.
