SEOUL - In a briefing about Saturday's talks between top South Korean and Chinese officials, Cheong Wa Dae said the two sides agreed to finalise Chinese President Xi Jinping's"early visit" to South Korea once the novel coronavirus situation here stabilises.
He avoided giving a direct answer to the question of whether Mr Xi would visit here, just saying, through an interpreter, he'd had a"quite good dialogue" with Mr Suh during their first meeting since Mr Suh assumed his post in early July. If he had met Mr Moon, he might have felt pressed to make a clear reply to the South Korean leader's wish for a reciprocal visit from his Chinese counterpart.
During his meeting with Mr Suh, Mr Yang explained China's position on the recent Beijing-Washington rift, according to the Cheong Wa Dae spokesman. Such an explanation could be seen as a message that Seoul should not go against Beijing's stance. The Moon administration should also be cautious not to overrate Xi's possible visit in terms of Seoul's position between the US and China.
