A senior South Korean diplomat will visit China this week to have a follow-up discussion on the recent summit between the leaders of the two countries, the foreign ministry here said Tuesday.
Yoon Soon-gu, a deputy foreign minister, will leave for Beijing late in the day for a two-day stay during which he is to discuss with his counterpart Kong Xuanyou how to implement what was agreed upon during President Moon Jae-in's Dec. 13-16 trip to the country.
During their summit on Dec. 14, Moon and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to put director-level consultations channels between the two governments back on track after a monthslong feud over the deployment of a US missile defense system called THAAD in South Korea.
