South Korean President Moon to visit China Dec. 13-16

South Korean President Moon Jae-in will visit China from Dec. 13-16, China’s official Xinhua news agency said on Wednesday, citing Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang.

Moon will attend a bilateral summit during his visit.

This is Moon's first trip to China and his second state visit to a foreign country since taking office in May.

The two countries are seeking to mend ties frayed by a year-long spat over the deployment of a U.S. anti-missile system in South Korea. The anti-missile system was deployed amid growing concern over DPRK’s nuclear and missile programs.
