Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi provided further details on North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's recent visit to China during discussions with his South Korean counterpart, according to a senior South Korean official. Wang and Foreign Minister Cho Hyun held talks in Beijing on Friday, where they elaborated on Kim's trip to the Chinese border city of Dandong on October 24, stated the official.
The Chinese perspective emphasized that Beijing's relationship with North Korea centers primarily on economic collaboration rather than political matters, the official informed reporters. They reportedly received relatively detailed accounts of the situation. The talks also included a conversation about Wang's meeting with Kim Song-nam, a high-ranking North Korean ruling party official who had visited Beijing the previous week.
