China warns DPRK not to escalate tension following missile launch

(Xinhua)    16:41, March 18, 2016

BEIJING, March 18 --China urged the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) to comply with UN resolutions and stop any action that might escalate the tension on the Korean Peninsula, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Friday.

Lu Kang made the remarks when asked to comment on the DPRK firing of what the Republic of Korea's military assessed as a Rodong ballistic missile on Friday morning.

The UN Security Council resolutions have clear provisions relating to the DPRK's ballistic missile launch, Lu said at a regular news briefing.

The Security Council adopted a resolution earlier this month to curb the DPRK's nuclear and missile program following its nuclear test and satellite launch.

"We hope all parties can exercise prudence and work together to maintain regional peace and stability," Lu said.
