After watching the performance, the deputy mayor of Dalian City said that the performance of the opera is of special significance in cultural exchange between the two countries, adding that the performance tour which took place in the wake of the China visit of General Secretary Kim Jong Il contributed to the development of the Sino-DPRK friendly relations.
