SEOUL, July 14 (UPI) -- A delegation led by China's top political adviser Wang Huning will visit North Korea this week, state-run media reported Tuesday, the latest in a series of high-level exchanges between the longtime allies.
Wang, a member of the Politburo Standing Committee and chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, will visit from Wednesday through Friday, according to China's official Xinhua News Agency and North Korea's Korean Central News Agency.
Xinhua said he will lead a party and government delegation on an official goodwill visit at the invitation of the Workers' Party of Korea and the North Korean government. Neither side disclosed further details.
The visit follows several recent high-level engagements marking the 65th anniversary of the China-North Korea Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance, concluded on July 11, 1961.
