North Korean leader Kim Jong-un told China’s State Councillor Wang Yi on Thursday that he is committed to denuclearisation, China’s Foreign Ministry said.
Mr. Wang is visiting North Korea following last week’s historic meeting between South Korean President Moon Jae-in and the North’s Kim Jong-un, when both leaders pledged to improve bilateral ties.
Mr. Kim told Mr. Wang that recent positive changes on the peninsula were beneficial to a peaceful resolution, said China’s Foreign Ministry.
“Kim Jong Un said achieving the denuclearisation of the peninsula is the firm position of the North Korean side,” the Ministry said.
China supported an end to the state of war on the peninsula, North Korea’s shift to economic development and the resolution of North Korea’s legitimate security concerns during the denuclearisation process, Mr. Wang said.
