Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with South Korea's Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul in New York this week, calling for joint efforts to address regional risks and stabilize relations. The talks highlighted a potential thaw in diplomacy amid global tensions.
Wang emphasized that Sino-Korean exchanges have grown 'more active since 2024,' with bilateral ties showing 'positive signs of improvement.' He stressed mutual benefits and adherence to their original diplomatic principles to ensure forward-looking cooperation.
The ministers also addressed security concerns, with Wang criticizing U.S. intermediate-range missile deployments in Asia as destabilizing. 'War and chaos must not occur on the Korean Peninsula,' he asserted, pledging China's role as a peace mediator.
Cho echoed the need for stability, proposing enhanced economic collaboration and strategic communication. South Korea aims to boost trade ties and regional economic integration with China – a potential win for young entrepreneurs tracking Asia's markets.
