Only by meeting each other halfway can bring steady and sustained development, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Wednesday while commenting on the efforts made by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and the U.S. to the Korean Peninsula issue.
China appreciates the efforts of DPRK leader Kim Jong Un and U.S. President Donald Trump to promote a political solution to the nuclear issue on the peninsula, Wang said on the sidelines of the 16th Meeting of the Foreign Ministers of China, Russia, and India in Wuzhen, eastern China's Zhejiang Province.
Each summit between the DPRK and the U.S. should be a new starting point, Wang stressed, hoping the upcoming Trump-Kim summit in Hanoi will take a step forward in promoting the denuclearization and the establishment of a peace mechanism on the peninsula.
The current situation of "double suspension" on the Korean Peninsula has been materialized after the Trump-Kim Summit in Singapore last June, Wang said, urging the summit in Hanoi to cash on the situation achieved so far to lead the denuclearization of the peninsula and to follow a dual-track approach.
