Resolution on DPRK 'balanced'
China on Thursday voiced support for the United Nations' latest resolution on Pyongyang's nuclear test, saying it is "balanced". In a statement, Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said, "China supports the UN Security Council's necessary and moderate response to the nuclear test of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea." The UN Security Council on Thursday passed unanimously Resolution 2094 condemning the DPRK's third nuclear test. The resolution demanded the DPRK not proceed with any further nuclear tests, give up any nuclear arms program and return to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. The resolution also urged a peaceful, diplomatic and political solution to the current situation and a resumption of the Six-Party Talks.
