CHINESE Foreign Minister Wang Yi said yesterday that his country would continue sticking to realizing denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, while opposing remarks and actions that will trigger tension on the peninsula.

    Wang made the remarks at a joint press conference with his South Korean counterpart Yun Byung-se and Japanese counterpart Fumio Kishida after the eighth trilateral foreign ministers’ meeting.

    China will continue sticking to realizing denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, settling nuclear issues of the Korean Peninsula through dialogues and negotiations, and sticking to the consistent and firm position of maintaining peace and stability of the Korean Peninsula and the whole region as well, said Wang.

    China opposes the developing process of nuclear missiles by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), opposes any remarks and actions that will trigger tension, and opposes all measures that violate the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2270, the Chinese foreign minister added.

    The leaders’ meeting that resumed last year after a three-year interval marked an important new opportunity for the trilateral cooperation, said Wang.

    China, Japan and South Korea, as three large economies of East Asia, are accountable for promoting East Asian economic development, taking a lead in East Asian regional cooperation and safeguarding regional peace and stability, he said.

    The three countries shall, in the spirit of facing history squarely and advancing towards the future, overcome obstacles and interruptions, build up consensus and focus on cooperation, to make sure the trilateral cooperation follows the right direction and develop steadily, Wang said.(Xinhua)
