TOKYO -- President Xi Jinping of China will make his first visit to North Korea on June 20-21, state media in both countries said Monday, catching experts on bilateral relations off guard.
The announcement was a surprise because North Korea is seen to have moved into a shell since the breakdown of talks between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and U.S. President Donald Trump in Vietnam in February, said a diplomatic source.
