Pyongyang and Beijing have both confirmed that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un
recently visited China.
According to China's Xinhua news
agency, Kim met with China's President Xi Jinping in which he said that he was
prepared to hold a meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in and US President Donald Trump.
"The issue of denuclearization of
the Korean Peninsula can be resolved, if South Korea and the United States
respond to our efforts with goodwill, create an atmosphere of peace and
stability while taking progressive and synchronous measures for the realization
of peace," said Kim.
In his turn, Xi told Kim that both
sides should bolster their traditional friendship. "This is a strategic
choice and the only right choice both sides have made based on history and
reality, the international and regional structure and the general situation of
China-North Korea ties. This should not and will not change because of any
single event at a particular time," Xi said.
PressTV-Heavy security in Beijing
sparks rumors of Kim visit
Particularly heavy security measures
in the Chinese capital prompt the media to speculate that North Korea’s leader
Kim Jong-un may be on a visit to Beijing.
According to the KCNA, Kim invited Xi
"to make an official visit to the DPRK at a convenient time and the
invitation was accepted with pleasure."
The confirmation ended speculations
about the identity of the high profile North Korean visitor in China after
Japanese media spotted a green train, similar to the one used by Kim's father,
arriving in Beijing on Monday.
The North Korean leader is due to hold
separate summits with South Korea’s President Moon in late April and possibly
with Trump in May.***
