China, South Korea eye ‘symbolic restart’ for ties during Xi’s visit: experts
AI Summary
Chinese President Xi Jinping will visit South Korea next week for talks with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung and to attend the APEC summit in Gyeongju. This marks the first trip by a Chinese president to South Korea in over a decade. Experts view this as an attempt to reset strained ties between China and South Korea, though no major breakthroughs are expected. Xi's last visit in 2014 resulted in a free-trade agreement that took effect in 2015. Recently, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un visited China for the first time in over six years, leading to face-to-face talks with Xi where "denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula" was notably absent from the official statement.
