China on Thursday again called for a restart of the Six-Party Talks, saying parties involved in the dialogue should strive to bring it back on track.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu made the remarks at a regular news briefing when commenting on the Korean Peninsula situation.
Jiang said the situation on the Peninsula is still sensitive and complicated, and required all parties concerned to work together to find a solution.
If the situation becomes chaotic, the first to suffer will be the people of the Korean Peninsula, said Jiang, once again calling on relevant parties to stay calm and refrain from actions that could increase tensions.
We hope all parties concerned will jointly safeguard the peace and stability of the Korean Peninsula, she said.
"China's position on safeguarding the peace and stability of the Peninsula and Northeast Asia is unswerving," she stressed.
According to media reports, the Republic of Korea (ROK) will soon carry out a live fire artillery drill in waters southwest of Yeonpyeong Island near the disputed western maritime border between the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the ROK on a selected day from Dec. 18 to 21 depending on weather conditions.
