China welcomes the resumption of the ministerial talks between the
Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the Republic of Korea, a
Chinese Foreign Ministry
spokesman said in Beijing Tuesday.
The north and south of the Korean Peninsula are major parties to
the issue of the Korean Peninsula, and the peninsula issue should
eventually be solved through dialogue and cooperation between the
two sides, spokesman Zhu Bangzao said in response to a request for
comment on the resumption of the inter-Korean ministerial
talks.
China supports the positive efforts made by the north and south of
the Korean Peninsula to push forward dialogue and ease the tension
on the peninsula, and supports their efforts for the ultimate
realization of independent peaceful reunification, the spokesman
said.
