China's Foreign Ministry has again called for all sides to remain calm and exercise restraint after DPRK's intercontinental ballistic missile test on Tuesday.

Spokesman Geng Shuang, responding to a question about bellicose comments by former US ambassador to the UN John Bolton, suggested observers should pay more attention to the attitude of the current US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley. At an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council about DPRK's missile test, Haley said the US will defend its security and that of its allies, but not be inclined to take military action.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in also emphasized that another war on the Korean Peninsula must be avoided, and said interested parties should seek dialogue and a peaceful resolution of the issue. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also said any attempt to seek excuses for military action is unacceptable. 

According to Geng Shuang, the remarks show that seeking denuclearization, peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula is the common goal of all relevant parties and is in the mutual interests of all sides.
