Kim Jong Un concluded a visit to Beijing, seen as a strategic consultation with key ally China ahead of his anticipated summit with Donald Trump.
During his visit, Kim met with Chinese President Xi Jinping to reportedly discuss the upcoming Trump summit and secure China's support.
Kim seeks China's backing to press the US for substantial concessions, including assistance and normalized relations, particularly as denuclearization talks have stalled over sanctions.

Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Yesterday 12:56Key points summarised by AI
President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
