Foreign Minister Cho Hyun is set to travel to China this week for discussions with his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi, focusing on North Korea-related matters and bilateral ties, according to Seoul's Foreign Ministry. Cho's two-day visit to Beijing begins on Friday, during which he will meet with Wang and participate in a dinner on the same day, as announced by the ministry.
The talks between the two ministers aim to address various issues of common interest, including bilateral relations, developments on the Korean Peninsula, and other regional concerns, stated Park Doo-soon, a spokesperson for the ministry during a press briefing. Cho's visit follows an invitation extended by Wang during their previous meeting in Seoul in August, where they discussed bilateral relations and Korean Peninsula issues.
Cho had previously urged China to assume a constructive role in bringing North Korea back to dialogue.
This visit comes ahead of President Lee Jae-myung's scheduled trip to China, where he will attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Shenzhen on November 18-19. Chinese President Xi is expected to also be present at the summit.
