U.S. President Donald Trump is calling China's plans to send an envoy to North Korea a "big move."
Trump weighed in on Twitter on Thursday. He says: "China is sending an Envoy and Delegation to North Korea - A big move, we'll see what happens!" He did not elaborate.
Following Trump's visit to Beijing, China said Wednesday that it would send a high-level special envoy to North Korea amid an extended chill in relations between the neighbors.
The official Xinhua News Agency said the director of the ruling Communist Party's International Liaison Department, Song Tao, would travel to Pyongyang on Friday to report on the party's national congress held last month. Song would be the first ministerial-level Chinese official to visit North Korea since October 2015.
