Chinese Foreign Minister calls on all parties to observe UN resolutions on DPRK

Almaty. December 5. Silkroadnews – China’s Foreign Minister calls on all parties to abide by UN resolutions on the DPRK, Xinhua news agency reported.
“Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi Monday called on all parties concerned to abide by relevant UN resolutions on the Korean Peninsula issue,” the report reads.
“After two months of relative quiet, tensions on the Korean Peninsula have increased again,” Wang said. With this he also expressed regret that the parties could not take advantage of China’s appeals.
“China has always been open-minded to new propositions to resolve the issue, however, the stipulations and spirit of UN Security Council resolutions should be a common principle for all parties to follow,” said Wang. According to him, China has fully implemented the relevant UN resolutions on the issue and opposed the nuclear and missile programs of the DPRK.
He added, China resolutely opposes actions to increasing tensions on the Korean peninsula and has always been making efforts to promote peace and dialogue in accordance with all previous UN resolutions.
“Propositions and measures that are against or not included in the resolutions lack international legal support and will jeopardize the execution of UN resolutions,” Wang said.
In turn, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang noted that “the situation on the Korean Peninsula is highly sensitive, and we hope that relevant parties can avoid provocation and do more to ease tension.”
