A Chinese Communist Party delegation is heading to North Korea for the first
leg of a three-nation regional tour.
The envoys left just hours before US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was
expected to press for North Korea to return to multilateral talks on its
nuclear drive in Beijing.
The delegation is travelling at the invitation of the Worker's Party of
Korea, Xinhua news agency said. They will also visit South Korea and Laos.
The group was led by Xi Jinping, a member of the communist party's Central
Committee and secretary of the party's Zhejiang provincial committee, Xinhua
said.
North Korea has been refusing to attend six-nation talks on its drive for
nuclear arms for the past year, citing the United States' "hostile" attitude to
its government. Rice is due in Beijing late on Saturday.
