Chinese Foreign Minister meets North Korean leader Kim

Pyongyang, May 4: Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Thursday met North Korean leader Kim Jong-un here and congratulated him for the thaw in relations with South Korea, officials said.

Wang met Kim at the Korean Workers' Party headquarters and praised the successful April 27 meeting between the North Korean leader and South Korean President Moon Jae-in.

The Chinese minister backed the joint statement -- the Panmunjom agreement -- signed by Moon and Kim pledging to work towards the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula, Efe news reported.

Wang said the meeting had provided an opportunity to resolve issues on the inter-Korean issues politically rather than through the use of force.
