SEOUL: North Korea`s leader Kim Jong-Il may meet Chinese President Hu Jintao in northeastern China, where Kim arrived earlier, news reports said Friday.

A 30-vehicle convoy believed to be carrying Kim pulled up at a hotel in the city of Changchun after driving some 90 minutes from Jilin City, where the reclusive leader had stayed overnight, Yonhap news agency said.

Hotel officials said all guest rooms and meeting rooms at the Changchun hotel had been "fully booked," with one saying "national-level meetings" were being held there.

The officials said they did not know if Kim was there.

Yonhap quoted diplomatic sources as saying that Hu, who was also believed to be in northeastern China, may hold talks with Kim in Changchun.

Kim might be accompanied in northeastern China by his son, Kim Jong-Un, who is widely expected to be named to the North Korean communist leadership at a party meeting early next month, analysts in Seoul said.
