Chinese President Hu Jintao talked with the President of the Republic of
Korea (ROK) Roh Moo-hyun by phone on Friday, calling all relevant parties to be
patient and restrained, and to push forward the six-party talks process.
Hu urged the parties to follow the principle of maintaining peace and
stability on the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia.
Hu said he hoped all parties will handle the peninsula issues in a discreet
and responsible way and avoid any actions that may further complicate the
situation.
Hu urged all parties to do more to promote dialogues, enhance mutual trust
and ease the tense situation in order to strive for an early resumption of the
six-party talks and a better situation on the Korean Peninsula.
China always commits itself to maintaining peace and stability on the Korean
Peninsula and in Northeast Asia, and is committed to finding a peaceful
resolution of the Korean Peninsula issue through dialogue, Hu said.
Speaking highly of the active efforts made by the Chinese side in resolving
issues on the Korean Peninsula, Roh said ROK is willing to work with other
concerned parties to continue promoting the resumption of the six-party talks.
On bilateral relations, Hu said the China-ROK ties are developing rapidly
with smooth cooperation in politics, economy, trade, and keeping good
coordination in international and regional issues.
"China highly values relations with the ROK and will work with the ROK to
boost the development of China-ROK comprehensive cooperative partnership," Hu
said.
Roh said he agreed with Hu on the ROK-China relations.
He said he believed that the ROK-China relations will keep moving forward
with the joint efforts of the two sides.
