South Korea held strategic talks with China on Thursday to discuss their bilateral relations after Seoul rescinded its conference invitation to a Taiwanese minister last week due to “cross-strait issues.”

South Korean Vice Foreign Minister Choi Jong-kun said via Twitter that he had discussed online with his Chinese counterpart Le Yucheng the two countries’ bilateral relationship, regional stability, and peace efforts for the Korean Peninsula.
