China has a very clear stance on solving the Korean nuclear issue through
peaceful means, and hopes the parties concerned make positive efforts for the
continuation of the six-party talks, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman
Zhang Qiyue here Tuesday.
Zhang said Chinese President Hu Jintao and US President George. W. Bush
discussed the Korean nuclear issue during their meeting Sunday in Bangkok,
Thailand.
She said both of the two leaders stressed that the six-party talks on the
Korean nuclear issue are an important step towards the peaceful solution of the
Korean nuclear issue, and the parties concerned should carry on such important
talks.
Zhang said that a very important point in the process of solving the Korean
nuclear issue is to solve the security concern of the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea (DPRK).
Parties concerned should hold discussions on the approach and means of
solving the DPRK's security concern within the framework of six-party talks, and
find out an acceptable way, she said.
The first round of talks was held in Beijing in August with the participation
of Russia, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the United States, China,
Japan and the Republic of Korea.
