TEHRAN, June 20 - North Korea's Kim Jong Un and Chinese President Xi Jinping came to an understanding on issues discussed at a summit of the two leaders, including denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, the North's state media said on Wednesday.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Kim and Xi assessed the meeting Kim had with U.S. President Donald Trump in Singapore last week and exchanged opinions on ways to resolve the issue of denuclearization, Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said.
The North Korean leader also promised during a meeting with Xi in Beijing to cooperate with Chinese officials to secure "true peace" in the process of "opening a new future" on the Korean peninsula, it said.
Xi told Kim the neighbors' joint efforts could definitely ensure peace and stability on the Korean peninsula, China's official Xinhua news agency said.
"I have faith that, with the joint efforts of China and North Korea, our relationship can definitely benefit both countries and both peoples," he said, during a meeting at Beijing's Diaoyutai state guest house.
Kim told Xi that previously China and North Korea had helped each other out like family members. "General Secretary comrade Xi Jinping has shown us touching and familial support and concern," he said, according to Xinhua.
Kim wrapped up his two-day trip to Beijing on Wednesday with a visit to an agricultural sciences exhibition and the Beijing subway command center, Xinhua added.
The visit follows his Singapore summit, where Kim and Trump reaffirmed a commitment to work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.
