Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi and his Japanese counterpart Taro
Aso on Thursday spoke positively of the latest development of the
nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula and pledged coordination in
future efforts.
In a telephone conversation with Aso, Yang expressed the hope
that all parties concerned will continue to take positive measures
to fulfill their commitments and to implement the starting moves in
a comprehensive and balanced manner so as to steadily push forward
the six-party talks and the denuclearization of the Korean
Peninsula.
China will maintain contact and coordination with all parties,
including Japan, over the next moves in the six-party talks, he
said.
For his part, Aso hoped the initial actions would be implemented
as quickly as possible and said Japan would stay in touch with
China.
Both foreign ministers also exchanged their views about the
Sino-Japanese ties.
