SEOUL: Kim Jong-un is visiting China for a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, North Korean state media reported Tuesday.
The North Korean leader “is to visit China on Jan 7-10… at the invitation of Xi Jinping”, the official Korean Central News Agency said.
Beijing is isolated, nuclear-armed Pyongyang’s key diplomatic ally and main source of trade and aid, and Kim visited three times last year to pay his respects to the Chinese leader.
