The situation on the Korean Peninsula is highly complex and sensitive. Developments have fully demonstrated that military threats and sanctions pressure only intensify contradictions and heighten tensions, while political and diplomatic efforts represent the fundamental path to resolving peninsula issues, dialogue and engagement are what can help ease tensions and rebuild mutual trust. All parties should remain calm and restrained, avoid any escalation or deterioration of the situation, and ensure that the peninsula issue stays on the track of a political resolution. The relevant parties must genuinely fulfil their own responsibilities and demonstrate sincerity through concrete actions.

As a neighboring country to the peninsula, China has consistently followed developments on the Korean Peninsula. China's fundamental policy on peninsula issues has remained continuous and stable, and China has always been committed to achieving peace, stability, and prosperity of the peninsula, and will never allow war or chaos on the peninsula. We calls on the relevant parties to cease deterrence and pressure, and to play a constructive role in achieving lasting peace and stability in Northeast Asia.
