Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and president of the People's Republic of China, set 2024 marking the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries as a "Year of DPRK-China friendship" and declared its operation early in January.

An emblem of the "Year of DPRK-China friendship" was instituted, true to the noble intention of the top leaders of the two parties and the two countries.

Depicted in the emblem are the national flags of the DPRK and China, the figure "75" symbolizing the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations and letters reading "Year of DPRK-China friendship". Also carried in it are the Arch of Triumph of the DPRK and Tiantan Qiniandian, ancient historical and cultural relics of China.

The DPRK and the PRC will strikingly demonstrate their close bonds sealed and cemented in the struggle for socialism and the invincibility of the bilateral friendship and further develop the ties in various fields including politics, the economy and culture in this significant year, thus recording another beautiful chapter in the history of the friendly relations between the two countries.
