China has welcomed South Korean President Moon Jae-in's peace initiative on the Korean Peninsula, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Monday.
Moon tabled the "Korean Peninsula Peace Initiative" last Thursday in Germany and explained his government's desire to establish permanent peace in the region.
Moon said he aims to make the peninsula free from the threat of nuclear weapons and war through acknowledgement and respect.
China has consistently supported dialogue to improve ties between the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and South Korea, spokesperson Geng Shuang said.

China hopes the DPRK and South Korea will demonstrate good faith, commit themselves to reconciliation and cooperation, play a positive role in alleviating tensions, and maintaining peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula, Geng said.
"We also hope the international community will understand and support the constructive efforts made by South Korea," Geng added.
