05/22/13: The BBC reports North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has sent a special envoy to Beijing, state media has announced, amid cooling relations between the two neighbours. Choe Ryong-hae, a top military official, flew to the Chinese capital on Wednesday, KCNA said. The brief dispatch gave no details of the visit, which comes amid an apparent toughening of Beijing's stance in the wake of Pyongyang's third nuclear test. Chinese media said Mr Choe met Wang Jiarui, a top foreign affairs official. The visit - the duration of which remains unknown - follows weeks of high tension on the Korean peninsula. China is North Korea's biggest trading partner and closest ally. It has traditionally sought to maintain stability in North Korea, avoiding any crisis that could trigger the fall of the regime and propel a flow of refugees across the border. But in recent weeks, following Pyongyang's 12 February nuclear test and amid strident rhetoric from its leaders, China has expressed frustration with North Korea, with state media openly debating the benefits of close ties. Beijing supported expanded UN sanctions against Pyongyang after its nuclear test and some of its banks have recently suspended trading with North Korea's Foreign Trade Bank. It is also under domestic pressure after unidentified North Koreans seized, and subsequently released two weeks later, a 16-strong Chinese crew who had been fishing in the Yellow Sea. ...

North Korean Leader Sends ‘Special Envoy’ to China

(PYONGYANG, North Korea) — A “special envoy” for North Korean leader Kim Jong Un left Pyongyang on Wednesday for China, the North’s only major political and economic benefactor. State media released few details, but the trip comes at a rocky time in ties between the allies. In a short dispatch, the North’s official Korean Central News Agency said Kim’s envoy was Choe Ryong Hae, the North Korean military’s top political officer tasked with supervising the army. Choe was one of a handful of new vice marshals North Korea announced last year. The trip comes as a new leadership in China has shown frustration with North Korea and a greater willingness to work with Washington to harry Pyongyang over its nuclear ambitions. China is Pyongyang’s economic and diplomatic lifeline, providing nearly all of its fuel and most of its trade. Still, Beijing’s primary goal is stability, and it has sought to temper diplomatic pressure on the North’s nuclear program so as not to create a crisis that could damage the Chinese economy or push refugees into China. South Korean Unification Ministry spokeswoman Park Soo-jin said it’s too early to provide an assessment on Choe’s trip to China. Kim Jong Un hasn’t visited Beijing since he took power from his father, Kim Jong Il, who visited China in August 2011 just months before he died that December. Strains have increasingly appeared in relations between Beijing and Pyongyang over North Korea’s nuclear effo ...
