South Korean Deputy Foreign Minister Kim Hong-kyun and Chinese Executive Vice Foreign Minister Zhang Yesui discussed bilateral ties and issues of mutual concern, according to a statement from the Chinese foreign ministry on Thursday.
Kim and Zhang met in Beijing on Wednesday, after the two nations held the first round of talks earlier this week to discuss a broad range of regional and bilateral issues, the brief statement said.
Kim and his Chinese counterpart, Liu Jianchao, led the two-day talks from Monday in the southern Chinese city of Zhuhai.
It was the first time that South Korea and China held the so-called “Track 1.5” meeting that includes a mix of government officials and experts from the two nations, and provides them a venue for an in-depth exchange of views on a range of issues. (Yonhap)
