[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] Wang Yi, China's State Councilor and Foreign Minister, urged the United States to reflect on the military threats it has posed to North Korea and called for resolving the Korean Peninsula issue through dialogue and negotiations.

According to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 4th, Wang attended the 9th World Peace Forum held at Tsinghua University the previous day and stated, "The United States must reflect on the threats and pressures it has imposed on North Korea for decades."

Wang asserted, "The nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula has been dragged on for the past 30 years with many twists and turns," adding, "Peaceful resolution through dialogue and negotiations is the fundamental principle, and pursuing denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula alongside the establishment of a peace regime is the right path."

He also emphasized his support for all words and actions by the United States that contribute to peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula, referring to recent U.S. moves such as Special Representative for North Korea Policy Sung Kim's visit to South Korea to explore the possibility of resuming North Korea-U.S. talks.

He said, "The affairs of the Korean Peninsula are matters at China's doorstep," and added, "China will consistently play a constructive role in maintaining stability on the Korean Peninsula."
