PYONGYANG, May 12 (Xinhua) -- Yang Hyong Sop, vice-president of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), on Tuesday met a visiting Chinese delegation of members of the China-DPRK Friendship Association and officials from Chinese local governments.

Yang praised the bilateral friendship which was established by both countries' older generation of revolutionists. He said the first sister cities' meeting held on Tuesday proved that the two countries' friendship had developed not only between the capitals but also between other cities.

Wu Donghe, head of the Chinese delegation and chairman of the China-DPRK Friendship Association, said the sister cities' meeting reviewed the past and looked forward to the future. He hoped to strengthen communication and cooperation with the DPRK for the two countries prosperity and regional stability.

The Chinese delegation arrived in Pyongyang on Friday for a six-day visit focusing on inter-city communications.
