[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Boryeong] Regarding North Korea's successive military provocations, the People Power Party expressed that they "expect a role" from China.

On the 4th, Chung Jin-seok, the emergency committee chairman of the People Power Party, met with Xing Haiming, the Chinese Ambassador to South Korea, at the National Assembly and stated, "Peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula align with China's national interests," adding, "We expect China to take an active role."

Chairman Chung emphasized, "This year marks the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and China. The security environment on the Korean Peninsula is very concerning. North Korea's military provocations have already crossed a critical point," and added, "We must continue close cooperation based on mutual respect and the spirit of cooperation to create a new Korea-China relationship."

He continued, "For the past 20 years, China has been South Korea's top trading partner, so we also hope to strengthen cooperation in the economic sector," and said, "There are great concerns about a global economic recession. We hope to further strengthen economic cooperation between Korea and China to overcome this crisis together."

Chairman Chung referred to the poem "Deung Gwan Jak Ru" written by Tang Dynasty poet Wang Zhihuan, saying, "It is a verse about climbing another floor of a pavilion to look beyond a thousand li, and I hope Korea-China relations will take a step forward toward the future."

In response, Ambassador Xing said, "With the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations, the relationship between our two countries has greatly developed," and explained, "As Chairman Chung mentioned in the poem by Wang Zhihuan, it is time to look ahead from a new perspective and lead the bilateral relationship positively. We need to work together."

Ambassador Xing also stated, "Under the leadership of President Xi Jinping, China will strive to achieve the second centenary goal," adding, "China will become more open and implement various favorable economic measures. We hope to cooperate well to overcome global economic uncertainties and for our two countries' economies to develop positively."

He further said, "The Korean Peninsula is connected to China," and added, "Realizing peace on the Korean Peninsula is our aspiration. We are also concerned about the unstable situation. We hope to remain calm, avoid provoking each other, and resolve issues through dialogue."
