The meeting came after Xi hosted both Kim and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Beijing for a vast military parade this week.

Before this week, Kim and Xi hadn't met in person since June 2019, when the Chinese leader visited Pyongyang and called for the denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula. Before that, Kim traveled to Beijing four times in 10 months as he sought China's support in resetting ties with the US and South Korea.
