In September 2025, General Secretary Xi Jinping held talks with General Secretary Kim Jong Un in Beijing, during which he specifically recalled his state visit to North Korea in 2019, stating, “The solemn China-DPRK Friendship Tower, the spectacular mass gymnastics performance, and the warm-hearted Korean people have all left a deep impression on me.” Reflecting on these moments, one can feel the “strong atmosphere of China and North Korea being one family”!
China-DPRK Friendship Tower
The China-DPRK Friendship Tower is a monument located in Pyongyang, North Korea, built in 1959 to commemorate the sacrifices of Chinese soldiers during the Korean War (1950–1953). The tower symbolizes the alliance between China and North Korea, with inscriptions honoring the Chinese People’s Volunteers who fought alongside North Korean forces. It stands as a lasting tribute to the military cooperation and shared history between the two nations.
