Beijing:Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi elaborated 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.

According to Yonhap News Agency, the Chinese side detailed Kim Jong-un's trip to the Chinese border city of Dandong on October 24 during Wang's talks with South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun in Beijing. The meeting included explanations that China's relations with North Korea are primarily focused on economic cooperation rather than political affairs.

The discussions also covered a meeting between Wang Yi and Kim Song-nam, a senior official from North Korea's ruling party, who had visited Beijing the previous week. Additionally, the possibility of a U.S.-North Korea summit was addressed, with the assessment that while there is potential, significant progress would likely depend on the situation in the U.S. and President Donald Trump's willingness.

During the talks, Minister Cho urged China to play a constructive role in resolving issues on the Korean Peninsula, particularly in encouraging North Korea to return to dialogue, as reported by Seoul's foreign ministry.
