Summary
Seoul asked Beijing to help bring North Korea back to dialogue, with Foreign Minister Cho Hyun urging China to play a constructive role during talks with Wang Yi on Wednesday.
The appeal comes as President Donald Trump pushes for a meeting with Kim Jong Un despite Pyongyang denying any top-level contact.
Wang arrived in South Korea earlier in the day for his first bilateral visit to the country in five years, giving Seoul a rare opening to press China on North Korea diplomacy.
