Chinese President Xi Jinping and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un confirmed the traditional friendship between their countries during a meeting in Pyongyang, the North Korean capital. Xi indicated the possibility of closer cooperation in areas including economics, trade, and science. Beijing serves as a crucial source of diplomatic and political support for North Korea, which ranks among the world's most isolated states and faces international sanctions.
