Premier Li Keqiang has told US President Barack Obama that China supports closer cooperation between the two nations to halt North Korea’s nuclear programme, including working more closely in the UN Security Council.
Li and Obama meet on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York on Monday.
“Both leaders condemned North Korea’s September 9 nuclear test and resolved to strengthen coordination in achieving the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula,” a statement issued by the White House said.
