Lee was greeted by Hu with an inspection of China's military. The two leaders then moved inside for talks in the Great Hall of the People. Both leaders agreed to a strengthening of relations between China and South Korea. "We decided to upgrade the overall partnership with South Korea to a strategic cooperative partnership," said President Hu Jintao. Both leaders promised to work together to push forward the second stage of the six-party process, Hu said. Relations between North and South Korea were high on the agenda. "President Hu Jintao has expressed his firm support for the peaceful talks and dialogue, for the achievement of peaceful unity, and the improvement of relations between the North and the South," Lee said. Lee Myung-bak, a former Hyundai executive and Seoul mayor, took office in February and made his first overseas trip to the United States. The visit last month with US President George W. Bush included a weekend retreat at Camp David that had Lee gushing about his warm welcome. Lee's US trip was aimed at rebuilding Washington-Seoul ties that frayed during a decade of liberal South Korean rule. Lee was expected to reassure top Beijing leaders that rejuvenated ties with the US will not interfere with South Korea's bond with China. During his trip he is expected to speak at Peking University and to travel to the eastern city of Qingdao in Shandong province, where many South Korean companies have set up operations across the Yellow Sea from the Korean peninsula. China fought against South Korea during the 1950-53 Korean War, which ended in a cease-fire that has never been replaced with a peace treaty. The two countries only established diplomatic relations in 1992. During Lee's trip the two countries were also expected to touch on the continuing dispute over North Korea's nuclear programs. But the US has recently moved to engage North Korea in direct talks to resolve that issue - a reversal of the Bush administration's previous hard-line stance toward the North - diminishing the role of other countries at international arms talks.
