BEIJING, March 16 (Yonhap) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong-il is likely to visit China later this month, a diplomatic source said Wednesday, a trip that could boost the prospect of resuming international talks on ending Pyongyang's nuclear programs.

"Considering the schedules of top Chinese leaders, there is a high possibility of Chairman Kim visiting China sometime between March 25-30," a source said on condition of anonymity, referring to Kim's official title, chairman of the National Defense Commission.
