6月20日，中共中央总书记、国家主席习近平在平壤锦绣山迎宾馆同朝鲜劳动党委员长、国务委员会委员长金正恩会谈。

The top leaders of China and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) agreed Thursday that the two countries should stay true to their original aspirations and join hands to create a bright future of inter-party and inter-state relations at a new starting point in history.
双方一致同意，在新的历史起点上，中朝双方愿不忘初心、携手前进，共同开创两党两国关系的美好未来。

By reviewing the development of China-DPRK relations, an insightful conclusion can be drawn that it is the essential attribute of the relationship that both are socialist countries adhering to the leadership of a Communist party, Xi stressed.
习近平强调，回顾中朝关系历程，可以深刻认识到：坚持共产党领导的社会主义国家是中朝关系的本质属性。

Shared ideals, beliefs and goals are the driving force of the relationship, the continuous friendship between and strategic guidance by top leaders are the greatest strength, and the geographical proximity and cultural affinity offer a sturdy bond, he added.
共同的理想信念和奋斗目标是中朝关系的前进动力；最高领导人的友谊传承和战略引领是中朝关系的最大优势；地缘相亲和文缘相通是中朝关系的牢固纽带。

The China-DPRK friendship is a strategic choice made by the two sides with a long-term and overall perspective and will not waver due to changes in the international situation, Xi said, adding that the friendship accords with the aspirations of both peoples, the fundamental interests of both countries and the development trend of the times.
我们坚信，中朝友谊符合两国人民心愿，符合两国根本利益，符合时代发展潮流，也是双方着眼长远大局作出的战略选择，不会因国际风云变幻而动摇。

Noting that China-DPRK ties have now entered a new historical period, Xi said that the CPC and the Chinese government attach great importance to the friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries, and that it is a steadfast policy of the CPC and the Chinese government to maintain, consolidate and develop China-DPRK relations.
习近平表示，当前，中朝关系已经进入新的历史时期。中国党和政府高度重视中朝友好合作关系，维护好、巩固好、发展好中朝关系，始终是中国党和政府坚定不移的方针。

In face of the profound and complex changes on the global and regional landscapes, China and the DPRK should strengthen high-level contact to guide the development of China-DPRK relations, Xi said, adding that he is ready to maintain close exchanges with Kim to consolidate mutual political trust and hold firmly the general direction of bilateral relations.
面对国际和地区形势深刻复杂演变，双方要加强高层交往，为中朝关系发展引领航向。我愿意同金正恩委员长保持密切交往，巩固政治互信，牢牢把握中朝关系发展大方向。

The two sides, Xi said, should deepen strategic communication and exchange views on major issues in an in-depth and timely manner, so as to create a favorable environment for the development of both countries.
双方要加强战略沟通，及时就重大问题深入交换意见，为两国发展营造良好环境。

He also suggested that the two sides expand practical cooperation to bring more benefits to both peoples.
双方要拓展务实合作，为两国人民带来更大福祉。

China, he said, is ready to work with the DPRK to continue to implement the plan for commemorating the 70th anniversary of diplomatic ties, and conduct exchanges and cooperation in such fields as education, health, sports, media and youth as well as at local levels, so as to carry forward the traditional China-DPRK friendship and improve the well-being of both peoples.
中方愿同朝方继续落实好建交70周年纪念活动方案，开展教育、卫生、体育、媒体、青年、地方等领域交流合作，弘扬中朝传统友谊，增进两国人民福祉。

On the Korean Peninsula issue, Xi reaffirmed China's support for efforts to push forward the political settlement process and build up conditions for its resolution.
在朝鲜半岛问题上，习近平重申，中方支持推进半岛问题政治解决进程，为解决问题积累和创造条件。

Xi spoke highly of the DPRK's efforts to safeguard peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and promote the denuclearization of the peninsula.
习近平积极评价朝方为维护半岛和平稳定、推动半岛无核化作出的努力。

China, Xi said, is willing to provide assistance within its capacity for the DPRK to address its legitimate security and development concerns, strengthen coordination and cooperation with the DPRK as well as other relevant parties, and play a positive and constructive role in achieving denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and long-term stability in the region.
中方愿为朝方解决自身合理安全和发展关切提供力所能及的帮助，愿同朝方及有关各方加强协调和配合，为实现半岛无核化和地区长治久安发挥积极建设性作用。

For his part, Kim said that over the past year, the DPRK has taken many active measures to avoid tensions and control the situation on the Korean Peninsula, but has not received positive responses from the party concerned, which the DPRK does not want to see.
金正恩表示过去一年多来，朝方为避免局势紧张、管控半岛局势，采取了许多积极举措，但没有得到有关方的积极回应，这是朝方不愿意看到的。

The DPRK is willing to stay patient, and hopes that the relevant party will work with the DPRK to seek solutions that accommodate each other's legitimate concerns and push for results from the dialogue process, Kim said.
朝方愿保持耐心，同时希望有关方同朝方相向而行，探索符合各自合理关切的解决方案，推动半岛问题有关对话进程取得成果。

The DPRK highly appreciates the important role played by China in solving the Korean Peninsula issue, he said, adding that his country is ready to continue to strengthen communication and coordination with China to strive for new progress in the political settlement of the issue and safeguard peace and stability on the peninsula.
朝方高度评价中方在半岛问题解决过程中发挥的重要作用，愿继续同中方加强沟通和协调，努力推动半岛问题政治解决取得新进展，维护半岛和平与稳定。
