Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in Beijing Tuesday that China will participate in the third round of six-party talks with a stance of resolving goals, consolidating achievements, actively mediating and steadily promoting.
Wang, also head of the Chinese delegation for the talks, told a joint interview by Chinese media that the goals of denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula and resolving the nuclear issue peacefully through dialogue should never fluctuate under any circumstance in a bid to preserve confidence and determination in maintaining peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula.
To consolidate achievements means to carefully safeguard those hard-won consensuses reached by all sides and accumulated in past peace talks to stabilize the basis for peace talks, Wang said.
China will, with an objective and fair attitude, actively promote the peace cause and the talks, push all sides to have more contact and build up mutual trust, to seek and expand common stance while reserving differences, he said.
Given the difficulties and complex factors, sober mindedness and patience should be maintained, Wang said, noting the peace talks should be pushed forward step-by-step at the correct direction with a steady pace.
The third round of six-party talks, involving the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the United States, the Republic of Korea, Russia, Japan and China will start in the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing on Wednesday.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue said Tuesday afternoon that during the just-concluded second working-level meeting since Monday, the six parties had an exchange of in-depth views on building a nuclear-weapon-free Korean Peninsula and freezing nuclear facilities as well as corresponding measures.
Essential preparations were made at the meeting for the coming third round of six-party talks, acknowledged Zhang, saying that all parties held that the working group's discussions are "useful and constructive."
