China provided constructive help for the ongoing peace process on the Korean Peninsula as China and South Korea are on the same page for complete denuclearization of and settlement of lasting peace on the peninsula, South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha said Friday.
Kang told a press conference with foreign correspondents in Seoul that China had the same goal with South Korea of complete denuclearization of and peace regime establishment on the peninsula.
She noted that South Korea and China continued joint efforts for the goal while active dialogues continued between the governments of the two countries.
The South Korean top diplomat said China provided constructive help for the peninsula's peace process given the exchange of views between leaders of China and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and the senior-level exchanges between the two sides.
"The peace process has advanced although the second summit between the DPRK leader and U.S. President Donald Trump ended with no agreement in late February in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi," Kang noted.
Kang said Trump expressed willingness to meet again with DPRK top leader Kim Jong Un, who showed intention to keep up dialogue with the United States.
"We remain optimistic that at some point, they'll return to the dialogue," she noted.
