China urges parties to stay calm over Korean Peninsula situation

Xinhua, April 24, 2017 Adjust font size:

China on Monday urged all related parties to stay calm and exercise restraint and not to take any moves that may further escalate tensions on the Korean Peninsula.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang made the remarks at a daily press briefing, saying that the situation on the Korean Peninsula is complicated, sensitive and extremely tense.

Geng added that the United Nations Security Council has clearly prohibited the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)'s nuclear and missile activities.

China and the DPRK are friendly neighbors and the two sides have maintained friendly exchanges, he said when asked whether China will send representatives to attend DPRK activities marking the 85th anniversary of the founding of the Korean People's Army on Tuesday. Endi
