Democratic People's Republic of Korea's leader Kim Jong Il met with
Chinese President Hu Jintao's special envoy, State Councilor Tang Jiaxuan
in Pyongyang Thursday morning, Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao
told a routine press conference here on Thursday.
Tang, who arrived in Pyongyang on Wednesday, conveyed Hu's message to Kim
during the meeting. The two sides had an in-depth exchange of views on
China-DPRK relations and the current situation on the Korean Peninsula,
Liu said.
The meeting was of "great significance" as it was held when the situation
on the peninsula is undergoing major changes, he added.
"Tang's visit to the DPRK is extremely important for bilateral ties and
the current situation of the peninsula," Liu told reporters.
According to the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), the DPRK
conducted an underground nuclear test on October 9.
The United Nations Security Council on October 14 unanimously adopted a
resolution imposing sanctions against the DPRK for its nuclear test.

United States and Russia, meeting with U.S. President George W. Bush,

Communist Party of China, Wu Dawei, vice-minister of Foreign Affairs, and
others.
