North Korean leader Kim Jong Un arrived in China on June 19, his third visit to meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping this year. Kim’s visit, just a week after the historic summit with U.S. President Donald Trump in Singapore, did not come as a surprise.
The two leaders met in Beijing. China welcomed Kim with a ceremony, complete with honor guards, at the Great Hall of the People, demonstrating that the two communist allies have each other’s backs.
