China has been consistently devoted efforts to keep the peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula, Guo Boxiong, vice-chairman of the Chinese Central Military Commission, said Monday.

During a meeting with Jo Myongrok, first deputy chairman of the Defense Commission of Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and direct general of the Political Bureau of Korean People's Army, Guo said the traditional friendship between China and the DPRK had played an important role in maintaining peace and stability on the peninsula.

The armed forces of the two sides had helped and learned from each other and the traditional military friendship had been consolidated, contributing to friendly state relations, he said.

China was ready to make concerted efforts with the DPRK to implement the consensus reached by the state leaders of the two sides and promote the friendly relations between the two countries and armed forces.
