Spokesperson Hua Chunying told a daily news briefing that Noh Young-min, the new ROK ambassador to China who arrives in Beijing Tuesday, could promote a resolution to the current problems in China-ROK relations and enhance mutual understanding.

Noh Young-min, the former three-term lawmaker, was tapped in August as the first ROK ambassador to China under the government of President Moon Jae-in.
