China remains committed to the goal of denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula, firmly maintains the international nuclear nonproliferation mechanism and resolutely champions peace and stability in Northeast Asia, President Xi Jinping has said.

Xi made the remarks in a phone conversation with British Prime Minister Theresa May on Monday when they exchanged views on the situation on the peninsula.

The peninsula issue should be resolved through peaceful means, including dialogue and consultation, and this requires the joint efforts of the international community, Xi said.
