Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi reaffirmed China's commitment to regional stability during a high-level meeting with Choe Son Hui, Foreign Minister of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), in Beijing on Sunday. The discussions marked Choe's four-day official visit to China, concluding Tuesday, at Wang's invitation.
As a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, Wang emphasized the "time-tested friendship" between the two neighbors. Analysts suggest the talks likely addressed economic cooperation and security coordination amid evolving geopolitical dynamics in Northeast Asia.
The meeting follows recent diplomatic efforts to strengthen traditional alliances in Asia, with observers noting potential implications for inter-Korean dialogue and regional trade networks. Business leaders will monitor developments for impacts on cross-border infrastructure projects and supply chain resilience.
This visit represents the first major DPRK-China diplomatic engagement in 2024, continuing a tradition of annual strategic consultations between the two nations since 2000.
