China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi is back in Beijing from his three-day visit to Pyeongyang.... without having met with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
According to Pyeongyang's state-run Korean Central News Agency on Thursday,... Wang met with Ri Su-yong, a senior official in charge of international affairs for the North's ruling party,... and asked him to extend greetings from Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife.
Now, this might be a hint that Wang did NOT meet with Kim Jong-un.
Observers say,... this could be because Wang's visit was strictly for working purposes to prepare for Kim's potential visit to China next month.
