BEIJING \u2013 Chinese leader Xi Jinping will travel to North Korea<\/a> next week, both countries announced Friday, in what will be his first visit in nearly seven years.<\/p>\n

His trip will be the latest in a series of steps by China to reinforce its close ties with its nuclear-armed neighbor. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has reached out to Russia in recent years, notably by sending troops<\/a> and conventional weapons to support its war against Ukraine.<\/p>\n
