When meeting with ROK President Moon Jae-in, Li urged Seoul to continue making substantive efforts to remove obstacles in bilateral ties to ensure their steady development.

China and the Republic of Korea have reached some consensus in dealing with the issue of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system in the current stage, Li said.

It is hoped that China and the ROK will synergize their development strategies, he said.

Moon said that bilateral ties are now at a new starting point. Seoul is ready to work with China to reshape mutual political trust and resume cooperation in the economy, trade and people-to-people exchanges to get ties back on track at an early date, Moon said.
