South Korea’s national security adviser on Monday thanked China for its “active support” in the diplomatic process that has set up a historic summit between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un.
Just days after he stood outside the White House and announced the planned meet between the US president and North Korean leader, Chung Eui-yong was in Beijing to brief China’s top diplomat Yang Jiechi on the fast-moving efforts to address the nuclear standoff.
Trump and Kim have agreed to meet by the end of May, although they have yet to confirm a date or time.
