China announces NKOR agrees to de-nuclearize
[CNBC] China said on Wednesday it won a pledge from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to denuclearize the Korean peninsula during a meeting with President Xi Jinping, who pledged in return that China would uphold its friendship with its isolated neighbor.After two days of speculation, China announced on Wednesday that Kim had visited Beijing and met Xi during what the official Xinhua news agency called an unofficial visit from Sunday to Wednesday. [I love the 'official news agency called an unofficial visit' part] The trip was Kim's first known journey abroad since he assumed power in 2011 and is believed by analysts to serve as preparation for upcoming summits with South Korea and the United States. [although this just confirms what SKOR officials saida month ago, it is still a big deal because of China's status] Posted by: lord garth 2018-03-28 |
