Kim Jong Un Visits China’s Dandong Amid Commemoration and Diplomatic Signals
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un made a rare visit to China's border city of Dandong on October 24, marking the opening of a new bridge over the Yalu River. The visit commemorated China's entry into the Korean War and the 65th anniversary of their mutual-defense treaty. South Korea's Unification Minister noted the presence of senior diplomatic and security officials from both sides, suggesting the trip may involve preparations for potential North Korea-US talks. Chinese leader Xi Jinping did not meet Kim during this visit, sending Wang Huning instead due to other commitments.
