Kim Meets Xi Before Expected Meeting with Trump
川金會前金正恩再次訪中與習主席會面
State media reported that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Chinese President Xi Jinping have met again. They were in the northeastern Chinese city of Dalian on Monday and Tuesday.
中國國家媒體報道稱,朝鮮領(lǐng)導人金正恩與中國國家主席習近平再次舉行了會面。周一和周二,兩位領(lǐng)導人現(xiàn)身在中國東北部城市大連。
It is the second meeting between Xi and Kim in recent weeks. Both meetings have come before the expected meeting between Kim and U.S. President Donald Trump.
這是近幾周里習主席和金正恩之間的第二次會面。這兩次會面都發(fā)生在金正恩與美國總統(tǒng)川普預(yù)期舉行的會面之前。
Neither leader spoke about the upcoming meeting with Trump or about last month's meeting between Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in.
兩位領(lǐng)導人都沒有提到金正恩即將與川普的會面,也沒有提到上月金正恩與韓國總統(tǒng)文在寅之間的會面。
However, Chinese state broadcaster CCTV reported Xi as saying China "supports North Korea to stick to denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and supports North Korea and the U.S. in solving the peninsula issue through dialogue and consultation."
然而,作為中國國家廣播電視臺的中央電視臺報道稱,中國“支持朝鮮堅持半島無核化的立場,支持朝鮮和美國通過對話和協(xié)商解決半島問題。”
Kim reportedly told Xi that North Korea has no need to possess nuclear weapons if a "relevant party" drops its "hostile policy and security threats."
金正恩對習主席表示,如果有關(guān)方面消除其敵視政策和安全威脅,朝鮮就沒有必要擁有核武器。
He was reported as saying "I hope to build mutual trust with the U.S. through dialogue."
據(jù)報道,金正恩稱“我希望通過對話與美國建立互信。”
Trump wrote on Twitter that he planned to speak with Xi later in the day to discuss trade and North Korea. He wrote that "relationships and trust are building." The Trump administration has demanded that North Korea immediately agree to denuclearization.
川普在推特上寫道,他計劃當天晚些時候與習主席通話討論貿(mào)易和朝鮮問題。他寫道:“兩國關(guān)系和互信正在建立。”川普政府要求朝鮮立即同意無核化。
The Kim-Xi meeting was the top news story in North Korea. The country's most famous television announcer Ri Chun Hui even came out of near retirement to report the event.
習金會成為了朝鮮的頭號新聞。該國最著名的電視播音員李春姬(Ri Chun Hui)甚至在幾近退休之際出來報道了這一事件。
The 20-minute report did not show any pictures or videos of the visit. It said there was a "deep exchange of opinions" between Kim and Xi on the changes around the Korean Peninsula.
為時20分鐘的報道沒有展示關(guān)于這次訪問的任何圖片或視頻。報道稱,習主席與金正恩就朝鮮周邊的形勢變化“深入交換了意見。”
The report also said Kim's younger sister was with him at the meeting.
報道還稱金正恩的妹妹陪同參加了這次會面。
CCTV's report, however, included images. It showed Xi wearing western business clothes and Kim in his traditional "Mao" clothing. The two leaders stood near the sea, sat under a covering on an outdoor area, walked through gardens and sat at a conference table.
然而中央電視臺的報道播發(fā)了圖片。圖片顯示習主席身著西裝,金正恩身著一貫的毛氏服裝。兩位領(lǐng)導人站在海邊、坐在室外一個頂棚下、漫步穿過花園以及坐在會議桌前。
China's official Xinhua News Agency reported that, at a key time when the area situation is developing quickly, "Kim said he came to China again to meet with [Xi] and inform him of the situation."
中國官方的新華社報道稱,在當前地區(qū)形勢快速發(fā)展的關(guān)鍵時期,“金正恩稱他再次來到中國與習主席見面并通報相關(guān)情況。”
