Ask what Korea is talking about.

South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Friday, saying peace on the Korean Peninsula serves the shared interests of both countries and calling for stronger bilateral communication, Yonhap and the Korea Times report. The talks came ahead of President Lee Jae-myung's attendance at the APEC summit in Shenzhen next week, according to Yonhap. Meanwhile, a South Korean presidential official said Thursday that North Korea is unlikely to attend APEC or hold talks with the U.S., with the presidential office deeming a Trump-Kim meeting unlikely, Yonhap and KBS World report. The U.S., China and Russia are also discussing Korean Peninsula issues as they arrange three-way talks on the APEC sidelines, KBS World reports. Korean media coverage focuses on the diplomatic maneuvering, with Yonhap noting the talks were held ahead of the summit, while officials downplay prospects for direct North Korea-U.S. engagement.
