朝鲜领导人金正恩于7月26日前往位于平安南道桧仓郡的中国人民志愿军烈士陵园，在朝鲜祖国解放战争胜利73周年之际向烈士表示敬意[1]。金正恩在毛岸英墓前敬献鲜花[1]，朝鲜劳动党中央委员会书记赵甬元、金成男、朱昌日，外务相崔善姬、国防相努光铁等党政高层官员随同参谒[1]。
此举反映中朝关系持续升温[2]。习近平6月8至9日前往朝鲜进行国是访问，朝鲜总理朴泰成7月初前往北京参加"中朝友好合作互助条约"签订65周年纪念活动[2]，中国全国政协主席王沪宁于7月15至17日访问朝鲜[2]，两国高层互访频繁，进一步深化双方合作[2]。
Kim Jong Un visited the Chinese People's Volunteers Cemetery located in Huichang County, South Pyongan Province, on July 26 to pay respects to fallen soldiers on the occasion of the 73rd anniversary of victory in the Korean War [1][2]. During the visit, the North Korean leader laid flowers at the grave of Mao Anying, the son of Mao Zedong [1][2]. The delegation was accompanied by senior party and government officials, including Zhao Yong-won, Kim Sung-nam, and Joo Chang-il, members of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, as well as Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui, Defense Minister Nu Kwang-chol, and Defense Ministry Advisor Park Jung-cheon [1].
The visit reflects warming ties between China and North Korea [2]. The gesture comes amid a series of high-level exchanges between the two nations, including Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit to North Korea on June 8-9, North Korean Premier Pak Te-song's visit to Beijing in early July for commemorative activities marking the 65th anniversary of the Sino-Korean Mutual Aid and Cooperation Treaty, and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Chairman Wang Huning's visit to North Korea from July 15-17 [2].
