China on Friday said it supports the proposed second summit between US
President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un next year.
Chinese
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said Beijing had always
supported engagements and contacts between the US and North Korea to
secure peace on the Korean peninsula, Efe news reported.
"We hope
these high-level engagements will help advance the improvement of the
situation on the Korean peninsula as well as promote the political
settlement process of the Korean peninsula issue," she said.
The
first summit between Trump and Kim was held on June 12 in Singapore in
which the latter agreed to work towards the denuclearization of the
country and the US President guaranteed the regime's security.
"We
also support the two sides in taking measures to implement the
consensus between their leaders," the Chinese spokesperson said.
Hua
said she did not know the details about reports published on Thursday
that Kim had visited a weapons test site where a "cutting-edge"
strategic weapon had been tested.
"I just saw relevant reports
today. I'm not aware of the specifics. Recently, with the efforts of all
parties, positive changes have taken place in the situation on Korean
peninsula. We hope this positive momentum could be maintained," she
added.
After meeting South Korean President Moon Jae-in in
Singapore on Thursday, Pence announced the second Trump-Kim meeting
would be held next year.
"We believe that the summit will likely
occur after the first of the year, but the when and where of that is
still being worked out," Pence had said.
Pence lauded Chinese
efforts on the North Korean issue and added that Trump would discuss the
matter with Chinese President Xi Jinping when the two meet in Buenos
Aires later in November during the G20 summit.
