Lu Kang said that the high-level statements of the ROK are in line with China's consistent position of peacefully resolving the nuclear issue on the peninsula through political and diplomatic means and fully and thoroughly implementing the UN Security Council resolutions concerning the DPRK.
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lu Kang: The sanction itself is only a means to urge the DPRK to pay attention to the general concerns of the international community and return to the track of solving problems through dialogue and consultation as soon as possible.
Lu Kang emphasized that all previous Security Council resolutions on the DPRK included two aspects. On the one hand, the international community opposes North Korea's development of nuclear guidance; On the other hand, it reiterated that this issue should be resolved through peaceful, diplomatic and political means, and supported the resumption of the six-party talks and the "9. 19" statement. These two aspects are equally important and cannot be neglected.
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lu Kang: We agree with Kang Jing and the Foreign Minister that the purpose of sanctions and pressure is not to overthrow North Korea. On this issue, we also agree with the four no promises repeatedly put forward by US Secretary of State Tilson. We hope that the United States and South Korea can effectively implement these commitments into concrete actions, and we also hope that North Korea can move in the opposite direction.
It is best to solve the problem through consultation, and it is best not to solve the problem by violence.
