China: six-party talks needed to resolve DPRK nuclear issue

China on Tuesday called for the resumption of the six-party talks, regarding the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula in the board of governor meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency(IAEA) in Vienna.

The Chinese delegation to IAEA stressed that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)'s nuclear issue could not be fundamentally resolved only by sanctions and pressure.

All sides concerned should take steps to ease the tensions in the region, promoting dialogue to build trust, regarding the aftermath of the DPRK's nuclear test.

China has declared that China resolutely opposes the latest nuclear test conducted by the DPRK and insists that the six-party talks should be resumed to resolve the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
