Beijing has provided details about a recent visit by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to China, according to talks between Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and his South Korean counterpart, Foreign Minister Cho Hyun. The Chinese side explained Kim's trip to the border city of Dandong on October 24th during their discussions on Friday, according to a foreign ministry official.
The Chinese side emphasized that relations with North Korea primarily revolve around economic cooperation rather than political matters, the official told reporters. They were able to hear relatively detailed accounts from the talks. The official added that the conversation also included Wang's meeting with Kim Song-nam, a high-ranking North Korean party official who had visited Beijing earlier in the week.
The official stated that while there is a possibility, the likelihood of a U.S.-North Korea summit is not very high, based on their impressions after the talks.
