North Korea and China held an event in Pyongyang to share their respective experiences in party building to mark the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese Embassy in North Korea announced on June 30.
According to the Chinese Embassy in North Korea, the two countries held a "North Korea-China Party Building Experience Exchange Symposium" at the Chinese Embassy in Pyongyang that day.

During the symposium, Ambassador Wang introduced the achievements and experiences of the Communist Party of China and spoke positively of the Workers' Party of Korea's accomplishments in governing the party and the state. He emphasized that North Korea and China agreed to strengthen exchanges between their respective parties following General Secretary Xi Jinping's visit to North Korea earlier this month.
"China is willing to work with North Korea to carry out and implement the important consensus reached by the top leaders of both parties, and to uphold the good tradition of 'frequent visits and growing closer through interaction,'" Ambassador Wang said. "We are willing to learn from each other and promote the continuous achievement of new successes in our respective socialist causes."
According to the Chinese Embassy in North Korea, Deputy Director Mun focused his remarks on the "people-first principle," the governing ideology of Workers' Party of Korea General Secretary Kim Jong-un, as well as the contents of the 9th Party Congress and the 2nd Plenary Meeting of the 9th Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea.
The Chinese Embassy reported that Mun stated, "We must implement the important consensus of the top leaders of both parties to deepen exchanges on party building experiences, expand friendly exchanges at various levels, and elevate North Korea-China friendly relations to a new strategic height."
Following the symposium, participants exchanged books related to party building and viewed a photo exhibition commemorating the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, according to the embassy.
