Chinese President Xi Jinping told North Korean leader Kim Jong Un that Beijing was willing to work with Pyongyang for world peace, North Korean state media said on Saturday. In his message to Kim, Xi said Beijing was ready to work with the North for “peace, stability, development and prosperity of the region and the world,” Pyongyang’s official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported. The message from Xi came days after North Korea fired an intercontinental ballistic missile, declaring it would meet perceived US nuclear threats with nukes of its own.
