China to Send Senior Official to Park's Inauguration
Cho Yoon-sun
China's leader-in-waiting Xi Jinping is to dispatch a senior envoy to president-elect Park Geun-hye's inauguration on Feb. 25, her spokesman Cho Yoon-sun said Monday.
Xi told a delegation sent to Beijing by Park last week that the two countries should form a relationship that "corresponds to a new era" in the leadership of the two countries.
For President Lee Myung-bak's inauguration in 2008, China sent State Councilor Tang Jiaxuan. Roh Moo-hyn's inauguration in 2003 was attended by then Chinese vice premier Chen Chichuan.
