Kim Jong-il in Baffling China Pledge

From Chosun Ilbo:

North Korean leader Kim Jong-il caused some head-scratching when he unexpectedly pledged not to break faith with China in a meeting with a high-ranking Chinese official. Kim met Chinese President Hu Jintao’s special envoy Wang Jiarui, the head of the international department at the Central Committee of China’s Communist Party, in Pyongyang on Wednesday.

According to China’s Xinhua news agency, Kim said his country “will not betray and break faith with China.” He told the Chinese special envoy that friendship between North Korean and China is a precious asset left by the two countries’ former leaders.
