“We must take a long term and highly strategic approach to moving the situation towards resolution,” Mr Xi said. Kim Jae-chun, professor of international relations at Sogang University and a former government adviser, said Mr Kim may expect Mr Xi to deliver his message to Mr Trump at the G20. Mr Kim said on Thursday that North Korea was awaiting a response from the US to revive nuclear talks. Mr Trump said earlier this month he had received a “beautiful’ letter from Mr Kim. However, Mr Kim told Mr Xi that it was Washington that hadn’t responded.
