SEOUL -- South Korea's new foreign minister is traveling to China for a meeting with his Chinese counterpart, a trip that comes as Seoul seeks to balance relations with both Washington and Beijing and as the U.S. prepares to publish its policy review on North Korea.
Chung Eui-yong will meet Wang Yi in Xiamen on Saturday in the southeastern province of Fujian because China bars foreign visitors from coming to the capital because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pair will discuss regional matters including the issue of North Korean denuclearization, South Korea's foreign ministry said.
