Both sides underscored the significance of the relationship between the two parties in their foreign policies, and concurred that in the current situation, the two parties need to exert efforts and actively play a role in promoting peace, cooperation and development in the Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia, while contributing to the global efforts for peace, friendship, cooperation and development, including disarmament and nuclear non-proliferation; and advancing international relations based on the respect for international law and the United Nations Charter.
They concluded by agreeing to continue discussions on measures to reinforce ties between the two parties and coordinate at international forums, and ensure the effective organization of the 11th theoretical exchange between the two Parties next year.
