North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un reportedly met with a top Chinese official on Thursday as Pyongyang and Beijing continue to bolster relations.
Wang Huning, a member of the Communist Party's Politburo Standing Committee, led a Chinese delegation that touched down in the North Korean capital earlier this week, North Korea's KCNA state news agency reported on Friday.
China has historically had a strained relationship with Pyongyang despite maintaining economic and security ties, and North Korea's deepening links with Russia have prompted fresh concern in Beijing over its influence in the Korean peninsula.
