N. Korean, China "reach consensus"
2010-12-10
(KUNA) -- North Korean hereditary supremo Kim Jong-il and Chinese State Councilor Dai Bingguo
... "and Bingguo was his name-o!" ...
 on Thursday reached consensus on bilateral relations and the situation on the Korean Peninsula after candid and in-depth talks, China's official Xinhua News Agency reported.

Dai arrived in Pyongyang on Wednesday, Xinhua said, without elaborating on details of the consensus.
Not delivering a message, just confirming strategy and tactics ...
Dai's meeting marked the first time that Kim has met a senior foreign official since the North's artillery attack on a South Korean island, on November 23, that killed four people.

The North's state-run Korean Central News Agency said that the two sides discussed issues of mutual concern and efforts to boost friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries.

Dai also conveyed greetings from Chinese President Hu Jintao to Kim, and the North's leader expressed thanks and asked him to convey his regards to Hu before having a talk with Dai "in a warm and friendly atmosphere," it said.

China, North Korea's closest ally, has been under increasing pressure to do more to curb the North's military aggression in the wake of the artillery attack on the South Korean island.
