THREATS FROM NORTH KOREA: Chinese foreign minister in Pyongyang



China's foreign minister is now in Pyongyang, the first visit by a Chinese foreign minister to North Korea in 11 years.

This comes after the historic inter-Korean summit last week, expected to kick-start the process of ending armistice and moving toward permanent peace here on the Korean Peninsula.

Pyongyang state media reported that North Korean foreign minister Ri Yong-ho sat down with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi on Wednesday to discuss the current issues on the Korean Peninsula. They shared how to improve and strengthen relations following their leaders' decision to meet in the near future.

On the North Korean side, the minister in charge of the economy suggested that bilateral economic cooperation could have been on the table as well.
