Kim said the issue of North Korea is not just a topic for the Korean peninsula and the East Asia, but it is a topic that can bring a big change in the security system of Asia Pacific, so related countries will have discussions either officially or unofficially at the meetings.
The discussions could have added urgency with media reports out of South Korea this week, alleging that the North has started a new uranium enrichment plant at its main nuclear facility.
North Korea is believed to have made advances in trying to build an atomic bomb, but is still believed to be working to miniaturize a nuclear warhead to mount on a delivery system.
In recent years, some analysts have thought the North Korean nuclear issue would be an area where Washington and Beijing could cooperate to reduce tensions.
China reportedly has grown frustrated with its ally after Pyongyang conducted a nuclear test in 2013 in defiance of U.N. resolutions.
