North Korean state media confirmed Kim Jong-un left for Beijing on Monday afternoon.


Kim is traveling with his wife and top North Korean officials for the four-day trip.


The young leader met with President Xi three times last year before and after a summit with President Trump.


China is North Korea's key trading partner.


And Kim's visit may signal he's trying to highlight his alliance with Beijing ahead of a meeting with Trump.


Despite a cheerful meeting last June, the U.S. and North Korea seem to agree on little over how to rid the Korean Peninsula of nuclear weapons.
