Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Pyongyang on June 10, 2026, for a two-day state visit, his first to North Korea since 2019. The visit was announced by both governments earlier this week.
During the visit, Xi met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Discussions focused on bilateral relations, economic cooperation, and regional security issues, according to state media reports.
The trip comes amid heightened tensions on the Korean Peninsula and follows a series of North Korean missile tests in recent months. China has called for restraint and a return to dialogue.
Xi's last visit to North Korea was in June 2019. The current visit underscores the ongoing alliance between the two countries, though details of any new agreements have not been released.
