BEIJING/SEOUL -- Chinese President Xi Jinping encouraged North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Thursday to continue negotiations with the U.S. toward denuclearization, seeking to solidify China's role as a mediator on the issue ahead of his own meeting with President Donald Trump.
Xi and Kim met in the North Korean capital during the Chinese leader's two-day trip to the country. He is the first Chinese leader to visit the North in 14 years.
