How to report a lot of money
The relationship between China and South Korea has been a very sensitive issue in the relationship between China and North Korea for many years. If it is not really necessary, try to avoid involving it. Since China loosened its relationship with South Korea in the early 1980 s, all major actions have taken the initiative to inform North Korea and try our best to do the work of North Korea. In 1992, the establishment of diplomatic relations was negotiated with South Korea, of course, no exception. However, how to inform the North Korea is quite cost-effective. After repeated weighing, the Central Committee considered that the matter was of great importance. Considering the friendly relations between China and North Korea, in order to show respect for President Kim and help the North Korea do a good job, it decided to convey the message of General Secretary Jiang Zemin, qian Qichen, who sent State Councilor and Foreign Minister, went to Pyongyang to inform Chairman Kim face to face.
Secret departure to North Korea
On the morning of July 15, 1992, Qian Qichen and his party left Beijing for Pyongyang by special plane. In order to keep it confidential, it does not take civilian plane. The plane was empty. There were only six or seven of us. Foreign Minister Qian didn’t talk much after talking with us. Everyone was silent and seemed to be thinking about something.
After the special plane stopped, Foreign Minister Qian Qichen stepped down the gangway. Kim Yongnan, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of the Korean government council, came to greet him and told him to go to see President Kim immediately. In the heavily guarded airport, there is a Soviet helicopter parked not far away, which can take about 10 people. In the middle of the cabin, there was a table on one side. Foreign Minister Qian and foreign minister Jin sat across the table, while others sat on the seats on both sides behind them. The rumbling sound of the helicopter after taking off was deafening. Although the two foreign ministers were close at hand, they couldn’t hear what they were saying at all. They only saw them smiling occasionally, and the atmosphere was still relaxed.
The helicopter has been flying over the high mountains and landed on a platform in a valley 40 minutes later. We took several advanced Mercedes-Benz cars with red star on the license plate to leave, which was known as President Kim’s guest at a glance in North Korea. The car drove out of the valley and turned several turns. A huge lake appeared in front of us. I judged from this that this was Yanfeng Lake. Chairman Jin has many villas all over the country, and Yanfeng Lake is his summer a house of call. The car stopped in front of a villa specially prepared for guests. Foreign minister Jin Yongnan asked us to go in and have a rest, waiting for the meeting notice.
Yanfeng meeting atmosphere is plain
At 11 o’clock in the morning, Foreign Minister Qian Qichen and his party arrived in front of another magnificent villa by car, and chairman Jin was welcoming him at the door. He was dressed in a dark suit, and he was in a cool spirit. He could not see that he was 80 years old. The two sides entered the meeting hall and sat across the table. After chairman Jin simply expressed his welcome, the conversation officially began.
Foreign Minister Qian first transferred a message from General Secretary Dajiang. According to the letter, according to the changes in the Korean Peninsula and the international situation, the time is ripe for China to establish diplomatic relations with South Korea. Now comrade Qian Qichen, the special State Councilor and Foreign Minister, will inform you of our consideration and decision, I believe I can get your understanding and support. The message said that China will continue to devote itself to developing friendly relations between China and North Korea. After the notification, the room was quiet. Chairman Jin pondered for a moment, first of all, he expressed his gratitude politely. Then he said that since China has decided on the relationship between China and “South Korea”, then do so. We will continue to carry out socialist construction, and we will overcome the difficulties we encounter. After that, he got up and shook hands with Foreign Minister Qian and said goodbye. This meeting was the one that I had attended with the least talk and the most insipid atmosphere between chairman China and Jin, which was in sharp contrast to the laughter and laughter he had met with Chinese guests in the past.
After the meeting, I returned to our resting Villa and foreign minister Jin Yongnan accompanied us for lunch. After dinner, Foreign Minister Kim accompanied us back to Pyongyang by helicopter.
Return to Beijing to report results
Foreign Minister Qian Qichen and his party returned to Beijing from Pyongyang, which was nearly 5 pm that day. The comrade who picked us up said, go to Zhongnanhai immediately and report directly to General Secretary Jiang and Premier Li Peng. Foreign Minister Qian reported on the meeting with chairman Jin. Generally speaking, everyone thought it was right to go to Pyongyang this time. Chairman Jin had some understandable ideas, however, starting from the overall situation of bilateral relations, he basically expressed his understanding of China’s decision and was worthy of being the leader of the older generation.
According to my original plan, the diplomatic relations between China and South Korea were signed by the foreign ministers of the two countries in Beijing on August 24 of that year. The relationship between China and North Korea was slightly cold for a while. Later, due to the death of Chairman Jin, there was a period of insipid period, and then gradually returned to normal.
