中国国营媒体报导说，北韩领导人金正日今天(星期五)在平壤会见了一名来访的中国特使。
这是去年8月以来首次有报导说金正日接见外国高官。去年8月份美国和韩国官员称金正日得了中风。北韩否认金正日患病，并公布了一系列没有日期的照片来证明金正日健康状况良好。
中国官方的新华社说，金正日会见了中共中央对外联络部部长王家瑞。目前没有关于两人会谈的其它细节。
新华社说，王家瑞星期四在平壤还与北韩总理金英日举行会谈。中国是北韩这个封闭国家的最亲近盟友。今年是两国建交60周年。
Chinese state media say North Korean leader Kim Jong il has met a visiting Chinese envoy in Pyongyang.
Today’s (Friday’s) meeting is Mr. Kim’s first reported encouter with a foreign dignitary since August, when U.S. and South Korea officials say he suffered a stroke. North Korea has denied the claim and released a series of undated photos to show Mr. Kim is in good health.
China’s official Xinhua news agency says Mr. Kim met with Wang Jiarui, the head of the Chinese Communist Party’s international liaison department. No other details on the meeting were available.
Xinhua says Wang also held talks with North Korean Premier Kim Yong il in Pyongyang on Thursday. China is the closest ally of reclusive North Korea. The two neighbors are marking the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations this year.
