Beijing calls for calming of Korean Peninsula tensions

Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang called for full implementation of the United Nations resolutions regarding Pyongyang, and urged parties involved to ease tensions in the Korean Peninsula.

While showing the international community's firm commitment to realizing the peninsula's denuclearization, the resolutions request that all parties commit to resolve the issue peacefully, Lu said at a daily news conference in Beijing on Wednesday.

"We hope these resolutions will be implemented in a way that is comprehensive, accurate and balanced," Lu said, commenting on remarks US President Donald Trump made in his debut speech at the UN General Assembly.
