Xi added in Beijing&rsquo;s effort to draw Pyongyang closer.<\/p>\n<p>Xi is expected to hold talks with Kim on the two-day visit, his first in seven years to China&rsquo;s reclusive neighbour at a time when its economy, strengthened by growing trade and military ties to Russia, could boost Kim&rsquo;s confidence in talks.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;His visit is about keeping the tradition alive in very different conditions than his last trip,&rdquo; John Delury, a senior fellow of the Asia Society, said in a post on X.<\/p>\n<p>Xi&rsquo;s commentary celebrates the &ldquo;traditional friendship&rdquo; between Beijing and Pyongyang, and emphasised strategic cooperation and socialism throughout, Delury added.<\/p>\n<div class=\"internal-linking-related-contents\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/12-weeks-jail-for-school-it-support-technician-who-took-upskirt-videos-of-teachers\/\" class=\"template-1\"><span class=\"cta\">News :<\/span><span class=\"postTitle\">&lt;div&gt;12 weeks' jail for school IT support technician who took upskirt videos of teachers&lt;\/div&gt;<\/span><\/a><\/div><p>Xi also pledged to work with North Korea to promote fair and orderly multilateralism and inclusive economic globalisation to benefit the world, adding that long-term regional peace and stability were the common pursuit of both nations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Flags line Pyongyang&nbsp;avenues<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Flags of both countries lined the main avenues of the North Korean capital in a short video released by the Xinhua official news agency, which added that welcome banners for Xi draped landmark buildings.<\/p>\n<p>Xi flew out of the Chinese capital on a special plane today, Xinhua said, accompanied by his wife Peng Liyuan, his de facto chief of staff Cai Qi and Foreign Minister Wang Yi.<\/p>\n<p>Xi hosted Kim and other leaders last year at a massive military parade in Beijing, where he stood with Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n<p>Since then Pyongyang has resumed crossings at the Chinese border and stepped up exchanges frozen during the COVID-19 pandemic, while Air China restored flights between the capitals in March.<\/p>\n<div class=\"internal-linking-related-contents\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/migrant-acquitted-in-first-trial-over-us-border-military-zones\/\" class=\"template-1\"><span class=\"cta\">News :<\/span><span class=\"postTitle\">Migrant acquitted in first trial over US border military zones<\/span><\/a><\/div><p>On the eve of Xi&rsquo;s arrival, Pyongyang sought to flex its strength by unveiling plans for a 10,000-ton naval destroyer and reaffirming its status as a nuclear-armed state. &mdash;
