Regarding the visit of the Chinese delegation to North Korea to attend the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the North Korean regime to be held the day following tomorrow (9th), the Ministry of Unification released an analysis saying that “cooperation between North Korea and China is concentrating on the economic sector.”
An official from the Ministry of Unification met with reporters today and said, “Compared to North Korea and Russia moving toward military cooperation, I believe that North Korea and China are focused on economic cooperation.”
North Korea’s Rodong Sinmun reported that “at the invitation of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea and the government, a Chinese party and government delegation headed by Vice Premier Liu Guozhong will visit North Korea to participate in the celebration of the 75th anniversary of September 9th.”
In terms of the North Korean suffrage anniversary, five years ago, at the 70th anniversary event, a Chinese delegation led by Li Zhan-su, the third-ranked Communist Party leader and chairman of the National People’s Congress Standing Committee, visited North Korea.
In comparison, the dispatch of Deputy Prime Minister Liu Guozhong has been lowered, but analysts say that North Korea can benefit from the fact that he is the right person to discuss ways to expand economic cooperation between North Korea and China.
An official from the Ministry of Unification said, “Deputy Prime Minister Liu served as party secretary in Shanxi, Xi Jinping’s hometown, and was promoted to deputy prime minister of the State Council in a relatively short period of time, so there is a possibility that he is an aide to Xi Jinping.” He is the Deputy Prime Minister of the State Council, who oversees the economic sector.
This official said, “It is difficult for China to welcome the closeness between North Korea and Russia.”
North Korea has not yet made an official announcement regarding the visit of the Russian delegation, but judging from recent moves to strengthen solidarity between North Korea and Russia, the Russian delegation is expected to visit North Korea as well.
