The historic summit between US President Donald Trump and the leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), Kim Jong Un, has brought the Korean Peninsula's nuclear issue on the right track of being solved peacefully through dialogue, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said.
He emphasized that this is in line with the common interests of different parties including the US and the DPRK.
Wang made the remarks before meeting with his American counterpart Mike Pompeo in Beijing on Thursday.
Wang added that the peaceful solution of the nuclear issue through dialogue conforms to the expectations of the international community, helps push forward the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and will finally lead to a real and lasting peace on the Peninsula and in the region.
China appreciates the relentless efforts made by the US side including its Secretary of State in this cause, Wang stressed.
The top Chinese diplomat also said he looked forward to listening to Pompeo's briefing of the summit while the two meet and to further exchanging opinions with the US side, so as to move forward the political solution for the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula.
