The top diplomats of South Korea and China held talks on Wednesday during which they sought to mend ties ahead of an upcoming summit between their leaders. South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha arrived in Beijing on Tuesday for the talks with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi.
On Tuesday, Kang said that she and Wang will focus on preparations for the visit by South Korean President Moon Jae-in to Beijing next month. The two sides agreed that the visit will take place around mid-December, with the aim of bolstering ties between the two nations.
The relationship has been soured when Beijing objected to Seoul's decision to deploy the US THAAD anti-missile defense system in South Korea.
Beijing's top diplomat stated the meeting warning Seoul that they need to withhold their end of the agreement - to make sure THAAD does not encroach on China's national security interests.
