On April 28, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called on the DPRK to halt its nuclear weapons and missile programs, while also urging the US and South Korea to refrain from conducting military drills.

"In view of the recent developments there, China has put forward the proposal of full suspension, which is built on the dual-track approach. The dual-track approach aims to promote parallel progress in the denuclearization of the peninsula and the establishment of a peace mechanism in a synchronized and reciprocal manner, ultimately achieving both goals together. The suspension-for-suspension proposal, which calls for the suspension of nuclear and missile activities by the DPRK and the suspension of large-scale military exercises by the US and South Korea, seeks to bring the two sides back to the negotiating table, thus initiating the first step of the dual-track approach, or rather the initial stage of this program. China's proposals have taken into consideration both the short-term and long-term goals and made them complementary to each other,” said Wang Yi during a meeting of foreign ministers from the UN Security Council regarding tensions on the Korean Peninsula.

Wang also said that the DPRK did not present any objection to the suspension-for-suspension proposal and China is still waiting for the US to agree.
