China hopes the issue of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) nuclear weapons program will be resolved peacefully through dialogue and consultations, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao Thursday.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) adopted a resolution on the DPRK's nuclear program on November 29. Liu was responding to a reporter's question on China's view of the DPRK's rejection to the resolution.
Noting China's consistent stance on the DPRK nuclear issue, Liu said China supported a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula and stood for maintaining peace and stability on the peninsula.
Meanwhile, China also hoped that the all sides concerned would resolve issues through dialogue and the IAEA's resolution would help achieve those goals, the spokesman said.
