"Only if all sides bear their due responsibilities, can the peninsula nuclear issue be truly resolved and peace and stability restored to the region"The DPRK knows well that China opposes its development of nuclear weapons and nuclear tests, Lu said

"What parties concerned should do now is to strictly and comprehensively implement UN Security Council resolutions and make positive efforts to resolve the issue through dialogue"The current situation on the peninsula is severe and complicated," Foreign Minister spokesperson Lu Kang said at a daily press briefingThe minister said that if there is any change needed, it is the denuclearization of the peninsula, and that would be more comprehensive, thorough and irreversible"Whatever changes may take place, no matter how long it will take, and whatever difficulties we may face, China will stay firmly committed to denuclearizing the peninsula and moving toward talks," he said

Kono said Pyongyang's nuclear and missile programs have posed a practical threat to regional peace as well as Japan's security"We call upon the US to honor its 'Four Nos' commitment, and we call upon all parties to play a constructive role in easing tensions," Wang said

"We urge the DPRK not to go further on along a dangerous direction," Wang saidIf Japan only discusses sanctions in the absence of dialogue, and even resists dialogue, it will be considered as violating the resolutions

"There is still hope for peace, we must not give up," Wang said during his speech at the UN General Assembly on ThursdayTwelve years have passed since a joint statement was issued from the Six-Party Talks, signed on Sept 19, 2005, Wang said, but things that follow the progressive trend of the times never become outdated and decisions on the right side of history never become obsolete

He said Japan is willing to push forward denuclearization on the peninsula with China and other parties"We hope Japan will behave with caution and play a constructive role on the peninsula nuclear issue, rather than the opposite," he said

According to Wang, China is always a force for peace and has made unremitting efforts toward the peaceful settlement of the peninsula nuclear issueThe "Four Nos" refer to Washington's promise not to seek a regime change in Pyongyang, not to seek the collapse of the DPRK government, not to seek acceleration of reunification of the Korean Peninsula, and not to send its military north of the 38th parallel, which acts as the boundary between Pyongyang and Seoul
