Chinese, S.Korean FMs hold talks in Seoul

China and South Korea's foreign ministers held talks in Seoul on Thursday, as both countries fight the coronavirus pandemic and its economic effects.

 

China's Wang Yi is continuing a diplomatic mission that began earlier this week in Tokyo. He discussed the pandemic with South Korea's Kang Kyung-wha.

 

Wang said that he thanked Seoul for its support when China was in a difficult situation because of the coronavirus.

 

Kang said that they hope their two countries will see this as a chance to cooperate more closely, not only to tackle the coronavirus but also to revive their economies, and sustain regional peace and security.

 

Wang will meet with President Moon Jae-in later on Thursday.
