On Sunday, ranking Chinese leader Li Keqiang urged North Korea to improve relations with the US and South Korea before the Geneva nuclear talks. Li arrived in North Korea for a three-day visit before heading off to South Korea on Wednesday. The aim of the visit—to ease strained relations in the Korean Peninsula.

Deputy Party Secretary of the Chinese regime's State Council, Li Keqiang, arrived in Pyongyang on Sunday for a three-day visit for meetings with North Korean officials.

Li told North Korea's premier, Choe Yong Rim, to improve strained relations with South Korea and the United States.

North Korea has created tension in the region with its nuclear arms aspirations and missile testing. North Korean negotiators had walked out of the six-party nuclear talks two years ago.

The six-country nuclear talks involve the United States North Korea, South Korea, Japan, Russia, and China. The Chinese regime is keen to resume the stalled six-party North Korean nuclear disarmament talks.

It also wants to maintain its long-time friendship with North Korea and forge better relations with South Korea, which is a more important trading partner.

During the visit, the Chinese and North Korean officials signed various agreements, one involving trade and technology collaboration between the two countries.

Li's three-day trip to North Korea is immediately followed by a two-day visit to South Korea on Wednesday. It highlights the Chinese regime's support for North Korea and wish for improved ties with both North and South Korea.
