China is willing to continue playing a positive role to seek a political resolution for the Korean peninsula, its top diplomat, State Councilor Wang Yi, told North Korea’s foreign minister as diplomatic efforts gather pace.

China fully supported North Korea’s commitment to denuclearization on the Korean peninsula as well as its decision to concentrate its efforts on economic development, Wang said during his trip to Pyongyang.

The two-day visit by Wang Yi follows a landmark inter-Korean summit and precedes a meeting between the North’s leader Kim Jong Un and US President Donald Trump in coming weeks.

The two top diplomats met in Beijing last month, days after Kim travelled to China for talks with President Xi Jinping.

It was Kim’s first overseas trip since he took power in 2011 and came amid signs of a diplomatic thaw.
