China urges continuation of six-party talks ( 2003-10-09 23:36) (Xinhua)
The six-party talks should be continued in order to seek a solution to the
nuclear issue on Korean Peninsular, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zhang
Qiyue said Thursday.
Zhang said China always regarded the six-party talks as an important step
towards a peaceful solution through dialogue.
The six-party talks were held in Beijing in August among China, the United
States, Russia, Japan, the Republic of Korea (ROK) and the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea (DPRK).
All sides reached a consensus on solving the issue through peaceful means,
including continuing the six-party talks.
Zhang said the nuclear issue on Korean Peninsular was very complicated, and
each side had different views and differences in the process of solving the
problem.
Zhang said China believed that the best way to solve the problem and
differences was through the mechanism of the six-party talks. Therefore, the
talks should be carried on, she said.
