Kimmie greets visiting Chinese premier
SEOUL, Oct. 4 (Yonhap) -- Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao began a three-day visit to North Korea Sunday, a trip that outside officials believe is expected to spur Pyongyang to return to six-party nuclear disarmament talks it quit earlier this year.North Korean leader Kim Jong-il personally greeted the Chinese premier, who arrived at Sunan Airport outside Pyongyang, the capital, the North's Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said. Kim "greeted Wen Jiabao at the airport," the KCNA said in a brief report, monitored in Seoul. China's Xinhua News Agency also reported Wen's arrival in Pyongyang, saying that he later signed "a series of agreements on cooperation" with his North Korean counterpart, Kim Yong-il.
