"China supports and congratulates the success of the Inter-Korean Summit and the release of the groundbreaking 'Panmunjom Declaration.' The summit brought a great opportunity to solve the crisis on the Korean Peninsula through peace talks. China supports the replacement of the armistice with a peace treaty on the Korean Peninsula," Wang said in Pyongyang, according to a statement by the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
During the meeting, Wang Yi also said that Beijing would like to maintain communications and coordination with North Korea.
Kim Jong-un stated that achieving de-nuclearization was the "firm position of North Korea" stressing that Pyongyang was willing to re-establish dialogue in the region.
The Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has returned to Beijing from the North Korean capital after his 2-day visit where he met with his North Korean counterpart, Foreign Minister Ri Yong-ho.
The visit is the first official high-level meeting between Beijing and Pyongyang since the Inter-Korean summit on April 27, where the leaders of the two Koreas have agreed to an ambitious agenda of peace and denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula.
