SEOUL, Oct 2 Asia Pulse - As North Korea congratulated China on its 57th founding anniversary on Saturday, its leader Kim Jong-il pledged to develop friendship and cooperation with the ally.
Relations between China and North Korea have been uneasy since the latter test-fired missiles in early July. China approved U.S.-led weapons-related sanctions against the North, and Kim is known to have said China cannot be trusted.
