SEOUL: South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol asked China to play a more active, constructive role in curbing the nuclear threat from North Korea when he met Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday at the Group of 20 (G20) summit in Indonesia, officials said.

Xi told Yoon that he hoped South Korea would try to improve its ties with the North, Yoon's office said, in a reflection of the two countries' divergent views on North Korea.
