Foreign Minister Cho Hyun embarked on a trip to China on Friday to engage in discussions with his counterpart, Wang Yi, covering bilateral relations and matters pertaining to the Korean Peninsula. This includes the potential resumption of dialogue between the United States and North Korea.

Cho informed reporters at Gimpo International Airport prior to his departure that the agenda would encompass the overall health of bilateral ties, especially matters requiring coordination between the two nations ahead of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit. This visit transpires prior to President Lee Jae Myung's upcoming China visit for the APEC summit, scheduled for Wednesday to Thursday, and the ministerial meeting is anticipated to help set the stage for a possible encounter between Lee and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Comprehensive talks with China are slated to address these issues, with particular emphasis on North Korea-related matters, including the potential for U.S.-North Korea dialogue.
