A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) said Wednesday that the country's stand on denuclearization of Korean Peninsula remains unchanged, the official news agency KCNA reported.

It is a common aspiration of the international community and an urgent need of the times to ensure peace and stability of the peninsula through dialogues and negotiations and push ahead with its denuclearization, said the spokesman.

As the peninsula is a region with complicated and hostile relations in it, it is important not to miss the hard-won opportunity but keep alive the atmosphere of dialogue in order to avoid "a vicious cycle of growing tension," he said.

It is the DPRK's stand to stop actions regarded by each other as provocations by building confidence through dialogues and negotiations, the spokesman said.

He also called on the countries concerned to "make a courageous decision to use the opportunity of dialogue from a broad perspective and with the awareness of the mission they assumed before the times."
