A vice speaker of South Korea's National Assembly, Jeong Kab-yoon, met with China's top legislator Zhang Dejiang during his visit aimed at cementing bilateral relations, officials said Wednesday.

Jeong met Zhang, who ranks third in China's ruling Communist Party hierarchy, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Tuesday, the National People's Congress, China's rubber-stamp parliament, said in a statement posted on its website.

During the meeting, Jeong and Zhang discussed ways to improve legislative cooperation between the two nations, according to the statement.

Jeong has been visiting Beijing this week to attend regular talks hosted by the Chinese parliament. (Yonhap)
