Seoul hopes to renew dialogue after Kim Jong Un's trip to the Chinese border South Korea's Unification Ministry said it hoped Kim Jong Un's visit to the Chinese border city of Dandong last week would help renew dialogue with neighboring countries. The leader of the Democratic Republic of China spent Saturday on a one-day trip, where he met with Wang Henning. Dandong is a city on the border of China and North Korea, through which a significant part of the trade between the countries takes place. Seoul is closely monitoring further developments. The ministry linked the visit to Pyongyang and Beijing's efforts to deepen relations. At the same time, they refused to draw any conclusions from Kim's visit to the bus factory in Dandong. This point of the plan was considered a sign of possible interest in expanding transportation and commercial cooperation. However, it is restricted by UN sanctions on car exports to the DPRK.
