Chinese PM visits Seoul as Korea crisis continues
Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao is visiting South Korea amid continuing tension over the sinking - allegedly by North Korea - of a South Korean warship in March.The issue is expected to dominate Mr Wen's talks on Friday with the South Korean President, Lee Myung-bak. International investigators have blamed North Korea for sinking the warship. But China has so far refused to join in the widespread condemnation of its old ally, Pyongyang. The Chinese state news agency Xinhua quoted the Chinese ambassador to South Korea, Zhang Xinsen, as saying the visit would "strongly boost" ties between the two countries.
