Beijing Details N. Korean Leader's China Visit in FM Talks with Seoul

During a meeting in Beijing, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi provided insights into North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's recent trip to China. This visit, which took place on October 24, included a stop in the border city of Dandong.

A senior official from South Korea reported that the discussions emphasized the focus of China-North Korea relations on economic cooperation rather than political matters. The official noted that they received detailed accounts of Kim's visit.

Additionally, the talks also covered Wang's meeting with Kim Song-nam, a senior North Korean official who had visited Beijing the previous week. The possibility of a summit between the U.S. and North Korea was also mentioned, although the South Korean official expressed skepticism about the likelihood of such a meeting occurring soon.

South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun urged China to play a constructive role in addressing issues on the Korean Peninsula, particularly in facilitating dialogue with North Korea.
