Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will visit North Korea on Wednesday after historic talks between the two Koreas last week. 

During the two-day trip, Wang is expected to be briefed on the recent inter-Korean summit and a possible trip to Pyongyang by Chinese President Xi Jinping. 

Quoting a Chinese expert, the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported that Wang’s visit might be evidence of China’s strong will to be involved in future talks related to the Korean Peninsula. 

Zhao Tong, a fellow on the nuclear policy program at the Carnegie-Tsinghua Center for Global Policy in Beijing, said that China would be interested to know what the two Koreas meant by their vow on Friday to "work together to officially end the Korean war through trilateral talks or quadrilateral talks." 

Zhao said that China may be concerned that it might get a seat at the table only after talks between the two Koreas and the U.S., adding Wang could try to persuade Pyongyang to act regarding a quadrilateral meeting to make sure Beijing is involved.

The expert said that Wang may also express Beijing’s wish to take part in future nuclear inspections in North Korea.
