On Korean Peninsula

China believes the Hanoi summit between Pyongyang and Washington was constructive and that such interaction will continue to be important in resolving the Korean Peninsula issue. China hopes Pyongyang and Washington, the key parties, will maintain good faith, remain patient and continue their dialogue in the right direction to achieve progress.

The Korean Peninsula issue is complicated and sensitive and will meet with difficulties as negotiations go deeper. The key to resolution is insistence on a political solution to achieve denuclearization and establish a peace mechanism.
