The announcement came as a high-level United Nations representative held talks with a senior North Korean official during a rare trip to Pyongyang. Discussing ways to “peacefully resolve North Korea’s nuclear issue” will be on Moon’s agenda when he meets President Xi Jinping next week, Moon’s office said. Moon will arrive in Beijing next Wednesday for a four-day state visit, his first trip to China since taking office in May. It has imposed a series of sanctions on South Korean firms and banned Chinese tour groups from going to the country in moves seen as economic retaliation.
