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。

Xi noted that since last year he and Kim had met four times, opened a new chapter for China-DPRK relations, and forged a profound friendship.
习近平指出，去年以来，我和委员长同志4次会晤，书写了中朝关系新篇章，并结下了深厚友谊。

The Chinese leader thanked Kim for the grand and rousing welcome ceremony, adding that he could feel the family-like friendship between the two peoples all along the way from the airport to the state guest house.
感谢金正恩委员长同志为我这次访问举行的隆重而热烈的欢迎仪式，我今天从下飞机到抵达住处，所到之处无不感受到中朝一家亲的浓厚氛围。

相信以这次访问为契机，我们一定会共同擘画中朝关系美好未来，共同开启中朝友谊崭新篇章。

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.

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。
