Chinese President Xi Jinping intends to visit North Korea next year after receiving an invite from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, South Korea said Saturday.
If he visits, Xi will be the first Chinese leader to do so since 2005.
Xi told South Korean President Moon Jae-in in a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Papua New Guinea that he will "make time" to visit North Korea next year.
