Rodong Sinmun says:

Great significance of the Supreme Leader's China visit is that it affirmed the common will to consolidate the socialist systems of the two countries and provide their peoples with happiness and future.

True to the intention of the preceding leaders, the Supreme Leader paid an unofficial visit to China to put the DPRK-China friendship on a new high stage.

The large tree of DPRK-China friendship, cultivated by President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il together with the preceding leaders of China in their lifetime, is spreading fresh and green twigs thanks to the Supreme Leader.

His unofficial visit to China is a revelation of his will to invariably preserve the long-standing historical traditions of the DPRK-China friendship, a valuable legacy left by the preceding leaders and common wealth, and remain loyal to the revolutionary obligation and creditably develop the bilateral relations down through generations.

The Workers' Party of Korea and the government of the DPRK will as ever further strengthen the bonds of fraternal friendship that have taken deep roots in the hearts of the peoples of the DPRK and China and more vigorously carry them forward.

Minju Joson says that the great success and feats made by the Supreme Leader during his China visit will shine long with the history of the DPRK-China friendship.
