BEIJING (Reuters) - North Korean leader Kim Jong-il told China's leaders he would be patient, flexible and engaged in six-party talks on his nuclear programs, saying what they hoped to hear in an unannounced three-day visit ending on Wednesday.

Shortly after the reclusive leader of the North boarded a train bound for home on Wednesday afternoon, China's state media broke a news blackout to show footage of a smiling Kim bear-hugging China's top leaders and gave details of his meetings.

Kim was "satisfied" with results of his unofficial visit at the invitation of Chinese President and Communist Party chief Hu Jintao and the two sides reached consensus on the nuclear issue, the official Xinhua news agency said.
