Hu and Roh had a 40-minute close-door meeting before the official talks
in the Great Hall of the People.
After the meeting, Hu said that he exchanged views with Roh on bilateral
relations and other regional and international issues including the
nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula.
They have reached many important consensus on the issues, Hu said.
Roh said that his visit to China, which signifies closer bilateral ties,
has "some special meanings."
The ROK and China are now facing a very important opportunity, and the
two nations have maintained close consultation and cooperation to resolve
the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue, Roh said, expressing his hope to
further strengthen the cooperation.
This is Roh's second visit to China since he took office in 2003. He came
following the nuclear test by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea
on October 9, which sparked strong international reaction and set off
moves at the United Nations to impose sanctions on the country.
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao also met with Roh Friday afternoon following
the meeting between Roh and Chinese top legislator Wu Bangguo.
Noting the situation in Northeast Asia has just seen a "new" event, Wen
said that the two countries should further promote cooperation in the
region.
"China and the ROK share common interests and understanding, and should
strengthen cooperation to safeguard regional peace and stability," Wen
said.
