Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held a telephone conversation with British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson on Friday.
In the phone call, the two sides exchanged views on the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue.
Johnson highly praised the positive role China has played in the issue, but at the same time, he expressed great concern about the continuous escalation of the situation, hoping to find an effective solution through negotiation as soon as possible.
Wang said China has made great efforts in safeguarding the international nuclear non-proliferation regime and will continue to implement relevant UN Security Council resolutions on the DPRK.
The Chinese foreign minister urged each relevant party to undertake their due responsibility.
