North Korean Premier Kim Yong-Il arrived in Beijing on Tuesday as his Stalinist nation prepared for a satellite launch that is widely suspected to be a cover for a ballistic missile test. Kim arrived Tuesday morning and will meet with top Chinese leaders during his five-day visit, which comes as their nations celebrate the 60th anniversary of bilateral ties, China's official Xinhua news agency reported. Much world attention is focused on North Korea after it announced last week it planned to launch a communications satellite between April 4-8. Washington and Seoul say the launch is to test a missile that could theoretically reach Alaska, an act that would be in defiance of a United Nations resolution.
