Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi pledged Beijing's "constructive role" for peace on the Korean Peninsula during a visit to Seoul. The two foreign ministers agreed on joint efforts and cooperation initiatives while discussing the North Korea issue. Wang's trip to Seoul marked his first since September 2021, as the Korean Peninsula situation is experiencing rapid changes.
This includes the U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to reengage with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, potentially through a meeting at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in Shenzhen, China in November.
Minister Cho Hyun of South Korea emphasized the importance of recovering Seoul-Beijing ties in contributing to regional peace and stability. Cho referenced President Lee Jae Myung's blueprint for peace, which was unveiled during his National Liberation Day speech, where he proposed multilateral talks among all involved parties to end the war on the Korean Peninsula.
