China News Service, Beijing, March 25 (Reporter Guo Chaokai Li Jingze) Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin hosted a regular press conference on March 25.
A reporter asked. The US announced a new round of sanctions against the DPRK after the DPRK launched its ICBM. What is China's comment?
Wang Wenbin: China has noted the relevant situation and is concerned about the current situation.
China has always maintained that dialogue and consultation are the only correct way to resolve the Korean Peninsula issue.
Under the current circumstances, any move that may lead to further deterioration and escalation of the situation is not advisable.
It is in the common interests of all parties to continue the momentum of dialogue and de-escalation on the peninsula, maintain peace and stability on the peninsula, and advance the process of political settlement of the peninsula issue.
It is hoped that relevant parties will remain calm and restrained, adhere to the general direction of political settlement, show goodwill to each other, resume dialogue as soon as possible, and actively seek solutions to break the deadlock.
China will continue to play a constructive role in realizing the denuclearization of the peninsula and promoting a political settlement of the peninsula issue.
