China vows to play "constructive role" in Korean Peninsular issues

China remains committed to playing "a constructive role" in Korean Peninsular issues, a senior Chinese diplomat said Sunday.

"China will continue to work with all the parties concerned and the international community to ensure peace, stability and prosperity on the peninsula," Assistant Foreign Minister Hu Zhengyue said in an interview with Xinhua.

Hu said China urges the early resumption of the six-party talks.

"China encourages all sides to seize the opportunities, actively engage with each other and restart the process of dialogue as soon as possible," Hu said, adding that China believes that dialogue is the only effective and peaceful way to solve the problems concerning the peninsula.

The six-party talks, which have been stalled for two years, are a multilateral dialogue mechanism advocated by the Chinese government to find a peaceful solution to the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue.

"Preserving peace and stability, achieving the peninsula's denuclearization and the normalization of relations among the relevant countries are in the fundamental interests of all parties concerned. China takes these as its starting point when addressing the peninsula's issues," Hu said.

China pays close attention to the developments of the peninsula issues and welcomes recent progress, Hu said.

According to local media reports, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) issued a statement on Jan. 5, proposing dialogue with the Republic of Korea (ROK) to eliminate misunderstanding and distrust and achieve peace and prosperity.
