North Korean Vice Foreign Minister to visit China later on Thursday: Beijing
Beijing, Feb 28 (Sputnik) North Korean Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Ri Kil Song will visit China later on Thursday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said.
"At the invitation of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, the deputy foreign minister of the DPRK will visit China on February 28," Kang told a briefing.
He added that the sides intended to discuss bilateral relations and issues of common interest.
When asked whether North Korean leader Kim Jong Un would visit China on his way from Hanoi, where he held talks with US President Donald Trump, Kang stressed that Beijing adhered to tradition of not announcing the plans of leaders of other countries.
Earlier in the day, the second summit between the leaders of the United States and North Korea finished in Hanoi. Trump said he had decided that it was not good time to sign an agreement at the Hanoi summit with Kim but called the talks productive.
