SEOUL, May 3 (UPI) -- North Korea says countries around the world are sending congratulatory messages to Pyongyang ahead of its Seventh Party Congress. But the Chinese Communist Party was not included in the mentions and dissatisfaction is growing in the country.
The omission underscores worsening ties between Pyongyang and Beijing. State media in both countries have exchanged a war of words, and China has repeatedly called for denuclearization on the Korean peninsula.
