President Moon Jae-in is in Japan to attend the G20 Summit which starts tomorrow.
First up he held a meeting with his Chinese counterpart.
During the session Xi Jinping said North Korea 's commitment on denuclearization hasn't changed a bit.
Shin Se-min has our top story.
Chinese President Xi Jinping says North Korea's will to denuclearize remains unchanged... and that it also hopes to push inter-Korean relations forward,... perhaps a game-changer in the rather slow denuclearization process seen in recent months.
"North Korea's will to denuclearize remains unchanged. It is willing to pursue reconciliatory moves with the South and the dialogue track will stay the same."
The presidential office said, shortly after the fifth face-to-face between leaders Moon Jae-in and Xi in Japan,... who are both there to attend the G20 Summit,... that Kim Jong-un is hoping to swiftly address the impasse in nuclear talks... through continued dialogue..
Those are some of the takeaways seen from the Seoul-Beijing summit,... with the Chinese leader having embarked on a state visit to Pyeongyang just last week.
Reaffirming that the regime is in sync,... the South Korean leader relayed his appreciation to Xi.
"Last week, President Xi visited North Korea for the first time since taking office, and I appreciate his constructive efforts to bring about the regime’s denuclearization and establish peace on the Korean Peninsula."
And the Chinese President also expressed his strong will to play an active role in pursuing the goal of peace, together as partners.
"If our two nations join hands, we can do a lot of things. China will pursue endless progress with Korea, and contribute to maintain peace on the Korean Peninsula and in the region."
The Blue House official added that President Moon said denuclearization is intricately linked... to the resolution of other issues such as the deployment of an American anti-missile battery in South Korea,... which Beijing is asking for a solution to.
"The bilateral summit between Moon and Xi marks the start of a series of one-on-ones among major related players. President Moon's meeting on Friday with Russia's Putin,... himself close to Kim Jong-un,... should also provide Seoul with some insights into the regime's motives and desires.
