Beijing, China (News Today) - North Korean leader Kim Jong Il has held talks with Chinese President Hu Jintao in Beijing, Chinese state-run media reported.
The meetings took place during Kim's "unofficial" visit to China that began Monday and concluded Friday, according to the Xinhua news agency. No other details were available.
Kim's trip to China comes as North Korea is seeking a conditional return to the six-party talks, South Korea's Yonhap news agency said, citing the terms as a peace treaty with the United States to end what North Korea considers a state of war on the Korean Peninsula and the lifting of U.N. sanctions against North Korea.
North Korea last year cut off the six-party talks also involving the United States, China, South Korea, Japan and Russia, in anger over international criticism of its nuclear and missile tests.
The trip also came amid increasing speculation that North Korea may have attacked a South Korean warship that sank in March, killing dozens of sailors. Seoul is demanding answers in the probe into the sinking before six-party talks can resume.
