国内英语资讯:Chinese FM calls for non-proliferation efforts, peace talks on Korean Peninsula

UNITED NATIONS, April 28 -- Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said here Friday that efforts on non-proliferation and promotion of peace talks have to be strengthened so as to bring the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula to a peaceful settlement.

Due to the recent actions by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), the international community should step up efforts of non-proliferation, Wang told reporters here ahead of a UN Security Council ministerial meeting on the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue.

Due to the heightened tension on the Peninsula, China proposes at the same time to step up efforts to promote peace talks, he added.

Wang expressed the hope that the Security Council will have a thorough discussion and reach new consensus at the meeting on how to fully and comprehensively implement Security Council resolutions related to the DPRK, to ease the current tension on the peninsula as soon as possible, and to identify effective channels to peacefully address the issue.

On how to solve the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula, Wang said China has already proposed a "two-track approach," namely to make parallel progress on the two tracks of denuclearization and the establishment of a peace mechanism on the peninsula.

As the first step of the "two-track approach," China has come up with the "double suspension" proposal: the DPRK suspends its nuclear and missile development activities, the United States and the Republic of Korea suspend their large-scale military exercises, Wang said.
