“China confirmed South Korea is at the top of the list of countries that President Xi will visit,” Suh Hoon, South Korea’s national security adviser.
Chinese President Xi Jinping will visit South Korea as soon as the Covid-19 pandemic is under control, the two countries agreed on Saturday, according to a statement from Seoul.
“China confirmed South Korea is at the top of the list of countries that President Xi will visit,” Suh said. Yang told Suh that China wanted to bolster strategic communication and also foster economic ties to push their partnership “to a new high,” Xinhua reported. “Being an US ally, it remains a huge diplomatic challenge for Seoul to strike a balance between China and US as ties continue to worsen,” Cheng said.
Cheng said Yang’s visit to Busan was “definitely a highlight for China in light of its recent lacklustre diplomatic progress”.
