N. Korea's premier arrives in China for goodwill trip
SEOUL, Sept. 26 (Yonhap) -- North Korean Premier Choe Yong-rim arrived in China on Monday for an official goodwill trip, the North's state media reported.
Choe was accompanied by Vice Premier Ro Tu-chol and several economic officials, the Korean Central News Agency reported from Beijing.
The dispatch did not give further details on Choe's trip.
The visit comes a month after North Korean leader Kim Jong-il toured the northeast of China on his return home from a rare trip to Russia.
In May, Kim also traveled across China and met with Chinese President Hu Jintao to discuss expanding bilateral economic and political relations.
China is the North's last remaining ally, as well as its key economic benefactor and diplomatic supporter.
