North Korean leader Kim Jong-un received a personal letter from US President Donald Trump, state media KCNA reported.
The letter has “excellent content†and Kim, along with his military, read it with “satisfaction,†KCNA reported.
Correspondence between Trump and Kim “has been ongoing,†White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement, confirming the letter was sent by the president.
The correspondence emerged as China’s President Xi Jinping told Kim that the world wanted him to make progress in nuclear talks with the US, underscoring Beijing’s key role in negotiations.
The Chinese president said during a landmark visit to Pyongyang that he is willing to play a “positive and constructive role†towards achieving the denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
Xi travelled to North Korea a week ahead of a planned meeting with Trump on the sidelines the Group of 20 summit in Japan, in what’s shaping up to be a possible turning point in the trade war
between the world’s two largest economies.
