Worth mentioning here Wang will be the first Chinese foreign minister to visit North Korea since 2007.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said in a statement issued on Monday that Wang will visit on May 2 and 3.

As per the Chinese analysts, “China could be left out of the talks to make the peninsula nuclear-free following a meeting between United States President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

"Beijing should be involved in talks for a peace treaty to officially end the Korean War," they asserted.

China had earlier supported a series of United Nations (UN) sanctions against Pyongyang over its nuclear weapons programme.
