China announced that President Xi Jinping will visit North Korea from June 8 to 9 and meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
This will be Xi’s first visit to Pyongyang in seven years, and it will also be the seventh meeting between the two leaders.
Experts believe this visit is mainly meant to show that China-North Korea relations are returning to normal, and to let the outside world see that the two sides are still in contact.
Recently, North Korea and Russia have been getting closer, and China may be somewhat concerned about this, so it also hopes to strengthen communication with North Korea.
Many people are wondering whether Xi will raise the North Korean nuclear issue, but experts say North Korea is not willing to discuss denuclearization now, and China’s influence is smaller than before, so it will be difficult for the two sides to make real progress on this issue.
Overall, this meeting may have symbolic significance, but it is unlikely to bring major practical results.
