China hopes the United States and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) can resolve the DPRK nuclear issue through direct dialogue, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan said Thursday.

Kong said China and the DPRK, as good neighbors, had frequently exchanged views on bilateral relations, and regional and international issues.

China maintained that political and diplomatic talks were the best way to realize a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula, to safeguard its peace and stability and to solve the DPRK nuclear issue, he said.

Peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula was important to the region and the countries concerned, he said, adding that China had appealed for concerted efforts for peace and stability and to solve the nuclear issue through dialogue, rather than sanctions or other methods which would lead to the deterioration of situation.

The DPRK nuclear issue had historical causes and had previously been resolved through the 1994 agreement, he said.

China would also study and consider other suggestions and methods conducive to a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula and the stability of the peninsula.
