North Korean leader Kim Jong Un briefs Chinese President Xi Jinping about his summit with US President Donald Trump, a visit that underscores Beijing’s efforts to remain at the center of fast-moving nuclear diplomacy.
Kim “felt thanks for and highly praised China’s promotion of denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and its important role in protecting the peninsula’s peace and stability,” state broadcaster CCTV says. North Korea “hopes to work with China and other concerned parties to promote and establish a solid, long-lasting peace mechanism on the Korean Peninsula and make joint efforts to achieve a lasting peace on the peninsula.”
For his part, Xi told Kim he “wants North Korea and the US to carry out the results of their leadership summit,” the report said.
Xi urged the US and North Korea to implement the agreements reached at the June 12 summit in Singapore, while Kim thanked Xi for his role in the diplomatic efforts, according to Chinese state media.
