Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is scheduled to visit South Korea later on Wednesday, following President Lee Jae Myung's proposal for multiparty talks aimed at officially concluding the Korean War that lasted from 1950 to 1953. The two-day visit will commence with a private meeting between Wang Yi and South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun, during which they will discuss various bilateral matters including the current state of affairs on the Korean Peninsula, as well as regional and global issues.
