China agrees new UN resolution on DPRK, reiterates call for dialogue

Xinhua, January 27, 2016 Adjust font size:

China agrees the United Nations Security Council should take further actions and pass a new resolution on the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) following its nuclear test earlier this month, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Wednesday.

Wang made the remarks at a press briefing after meeting with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who is on a two-day visit to China.

"The new resolution should aim to bring the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue back to the negotiating table, rather than stirring up tension or causing chaos on the peninsula," Wang said.

China is willing to maintain all-round and profound consultations with all the parties in a responsible way, including the U.S., Wang said.

The DPRK's latest nuclear test violated the UN Security Council resolution and threatened the international nuclear non-proliferation system. Therefore, China has voiced its opposition against the move, he said. Endi
