    North Korean leader Kim Jong-un visited Dandong in Liaoning province via the New Yalu River Bridge on Saturday, Oct 24, and returned to North Korea the same day. KCNA reported on Oct 25 that Kim toured the Memorial Hall of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea in Dandong and laid a wreath at the memorial tower, saying the North Korean people would pass down their gratitude to the Chinese people for generations; Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui and Workers' Party Central Committee department director Kim Yo-jong accompanied him, and Politburo Standing Committee member Wang Huning received him. Before the China trip he also paid respects at a Chinese People's Volunteers martyrs' cemetery in Hoechang County, South Phyongan province; KCNA said a volunteers' cemetery in Sinphyong County, North Hwanghae province, had been expanded into a martyrs' park with a completion ceremony on Oct 24 attended by a Chinese Ministry of Veterans Affairs delegation. NHK said the visit may have been aimed at coordinating with China ahead of possible renewed talks with the United States.
