August 25, 2017

BEIJING - President Xi Jinping says he is ready to make concerted efforts with President Moon Jae-in of the Republic of Korea to properly address the differences between the two countries.

China Daily reports that Xi made the remark as he and Moon exchanged congratulatory messages on the 25th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two nations.

Seoul's ties with Beijing have been frustrated the past year over the deployment of the US Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense anti-missile system in the Republic of Korea (ROK). www.webershandwick.cn (ATI).
