Kim Jong-un, the Chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea, who visited China for the first time in over six years to attend the 80th anniversary celebration of China's victory, will meet with Xi Jinping, the President of China.
Guo Jiaqun, the Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, answered a related question during a regular briefing on the afternoon of the 4th, saying, "The visit of the Chairman is of great significance."
Guo said, "The two leaders will hold talks to exchange in-depth views on North Korea-China relations and common interests," adding, "China wants to strengthen strategic communication with North Korea, enhance close exchanges and cooperation, deepen governance experience, and continuously develop each country's socialist initiatives and traditional friendly cooperative relations."
However, Guo did not mention a specific time for the talks. This will be the first North Korea-China summit in about six years since Chinese President Xi's visit to North Korea in June 2019. Earlier, the Chairman held a bilateral meeting with Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, the day before.
