Kim Meets Xi Before Expected Meeting with Trump

川金会前金正恩再次访中与习主席会面

State media reported that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Chinese President Xi Jinping have met again. They were in the northeastern Chinese city of Dalian on Monday and Tuesday.

中国国家媒体报道称，朝鲜领导人金正恩与中国国家主席习近平再次举行了会面。周一和周二，两位领导人现身在中国东北部城市大连。

It is the second meeting between Xi and Kim in recent weeks. Both meetings have come before the expected meeting between Kim and U.S. President Donald Trump.

这是近几周里习主席和金正恩之间的第二次会面。这两次会面都发生在金正恩与美国总统川普预期举行的会面之前。

Neither leader spoke about the upcoming meeting with Trump or about last month's meeting between Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in.

两位领导人都没有提到金正恩即将与川普的会面，也没有提到上月金正恩与韩国总统文在寅之间的会面。

However, Chinese state broadcaster CCTV reported Xi as saying China "supports North Korea to stick to denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and supports North Korea and the U.S. in solving the peninsula issue through dialogue and consultation."

然而，作为中国国家广播电视台的中央电视台报道称，中国“支持朝鲜坚持半岛无核化的立场，支持朝鲜和美国通过对话和协商解决半岛问题。”

Kim reportedly told Xi that North Korea has no need to possess nuclear weapons if a "relevant party" drops its "hostile policy and security threats."

金正恩对习主席表示，如果有关方面消除其敌视政策和安全威胁，朝鲜就没有必要拥有核武器。

He was reported as saying "I hope to build mutual trust with the U.S. through dialogue."

据报道，金正恩称“我希望通过对话与美国建立互信。”

Trump wrote on Twitter that he planned to speak with Xi later in the day to discuss trade and North Korea. He wrote that "relationships and trust are building." The Trump administration has demanded that North Korea immediately agree to denuclearization.

川普在推特上写道，他计划当天晚些时候与习主席通话讨论贸易和朝鲜问题。他写道：“两国关系和互信正在建立。”川普政府要求朝鲜立即同意无核化。

The Kim-Xi meeting was the top news story in North Korea. The country's most famous television announcer Ri Chun Hui even came out of near retirement to report the event.

习金会成为了朝鲜的头号新闻。该国最著名的电视播音员李春姬(Ri Chun Hui)甚至在几近退休之际出来报道了这一事件。

The 20-minute report did not show any pictures or videos of the visit. It said there was a "deep exchange of opinions" between Kim and Xi on the changes around the Korean Peninsula.

为时20分钟的报道没有展示关于这次访问的任何图片或视频。报道称，习主席与金正恩就朝鲜周边的形势变化“深入交换了意见。”

The report also said Kim's younger sister was with him at the meeting.

报道还称金正恩的妹妹陪同参加了这次会面。

CCTV's report, however, included images. It showed Xi wearing western business clothes and Kim in his traditional "Mao" clothing. The two leaders stood near the sea, sat under a covering on an outdoor area, walked through gardens and sat at a conference table.

然而中央电视台的报道播发了图片。图片显示习主席身着西装，金正恩身着一贯的毛氏服装。两位领导人站在海边、坐在室外一个顶棚下、漫步穿过花园以及坐在会议桌前。

China's official Xinhua News Agency reported that, at a key time when the area situation is developing quickly, "Kim said he came to China again to meet with [Xi] and inform him of the situation."

中国官方的新华社报道称，在当前地区形势快速发展的关键时期，“金正恩称他再次来到中国与习主席见面并通报相关情况。”
