SEOUL, Nov. 17 (Yonhap) -- North Korea said it sent a military delegation to China on Tuesday, as U.S. President Barack Obama agreed with his Chinese counterpart in Beijing to step up cooperation in persuading Pyongyang to abandon its nuclear weapons program.

The delegation led by Gen. Kim Jong-gak departed from the North Korean capital for China, the North's official Korean Central News Agency reported in a single-paragraph dispatch, monitored in Seoul.
