North Korea, China’s foreign ministers meet in Beijing

North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui met with China’s top diplomat Wang Yi in Beijing on Sunday during her second visit to the Chinese capital in just one month, both countries’ official news agencies reported.
Wang told Choe that “China is willing to strengthen coordination and cooperation with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in international and regional affairs,” the Chinese foreign ministry said in a statement, using the diplomatically isolated state’s full name.
North Korea’s Kim Jong Un is seeking a return to the world stage, analysts say. The reclusive leader travelled with Choe to Beijing in early September to attend a massive military parade that offered an unprecedented opportunity to stand beside Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, and gain implicit support for his banned nuclear weapons.
Choe delivered a message from Kim Jong Un that the bilateral relationship between two countries is unchanging and should develop to meet the demands of the times, North Korea’s official news agency KCNA reported.
