During a recent visit to South Korea, Chinese President Xi Jinping engaged in discussions with President Lee Jae Myung, marking their first summit in over a decade. The leaders emphasized renewed cooperation and strategic partnerships, signing several significant agreements, including a currency swap worth $49 billion. Xi humorously gifted Lee Xiaomi smartphones, joking about potential security concerns, while both leaders expressed a desire to engage North Korea in dialogue. This diplomatic encounter comes in the context of improving China-South Korea relations after years of tensions, with Lee calling for more Chinese efforts to facilitate talks with the North. Additionally, cultural exchanges were highlighted as Lee presented Xi with a traditional Go board.
