Ask what Korea is talking about.

Seoul assessed that a senior North Korean ruling party official's recent visit to Beijing was intended to share the outcome of last month's key Chinese party meeting and maintain high-level exchanges between the two countries, Yonhap and the Korea Times report. The official, Kim Song-nam, a Political Bureau member, arrived in China on Wednesday, Nov. 4, and held his third high-level meeting in Beijing by Saturday, Nov. 7, according to KCNA. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met the delegation on Thursday, Nov. 5, and reiterated China's commitment to cementing bilateral relations. The visit underscores deepening cooperation between Pyongyang and Beijing, following leader Kim Jong-un's own trip to China on Oct. 24 via a newly opened bridge.
