Wang said the countries’ relations were entering a new phase following a summit last year between Kim and Xi Jinping.

The meeting came as both nations look to present a united front ahead of a planned summit between Xi and Trump.

Kim has sought to break out of international isolation and push a more assertive foreign policy.

Kim outlined North Korea’s position on unspecified regional and international issues of mutual concern.

Sustained development of ties between the two countries has become more crucial in the current geopolitical environment.

While Russia has been Kim’s top foreign policy priority, he has also been rekindling connections with China.

North Korea and China last month resumed direct flight and passenger train services.

The diplomatic approach dovetails with North Korea's efforts to counterbalance United States influence.

The meeting was the first visit by a Chinese foreign minister to North Korea in seven years.

“In a significant diplomatic move on April 10, 2026, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un met the Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Pyongyang to reinforce the long-standing alliance between their nations”

Ties have been strained by North Korea's nuclear tests and China's growing economic engagement with South Korea.

The renewed engagement comes as the Trump administration prepares for a summit with Xi Jinping.

Kim has suspended all meaningful dialogue with the U.S. and South Korea since 2019.

He now defines South Korea as his most hostile adversary.
