North Korea foreign minister to make second visit to China in under a month

North Korea's Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui will visit China from September 27 to 30 at the invitation of her Chinese counterpart Wang Yi, China's foreign ministry said on Thursday, her second visit to Beijing in less than a month.

Choe was in Beijing in early September as part of a delegation helmed by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un attending a massive military parade.

Appointed in 2022, Choe is one of the few North Korean women to hold high office. Before that, she had been seen during Kim's previous high-profile meetings with other world leaders, including summits with Donald Trump during the U.S. president's first term.
