BEIJING, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson held a telephone conversation on Friday, exchanging views over the tense situation on the Korean Peninsula.

Wang said that through a stance of maintaining regional peace and stability as well as non-proliferation, China opposes the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)'s ballistic missile launches.

The United Nations Security Council has spoken with one voice in this regard once again, he added.

Wang noted that the possibility of bringing peace to the peninsula cannot be abandoned with the end of U.S.-South Korean joint military drills and the easing of tensions on the peninsula.

He urged all the related parties to act cautiously and work jointly to create conditions for the resumption of dialogue.

Wang said China will continue its unremitting efforts to seek a peaceful solution to the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula through political dialogue.

He voiced his hope that other relevant parties will also shoulder their own responsibilities and play a positive role.

Johnson said Britain expressed grave concern over the DPRK's fresh missile launches regardless of relevant UN resolutions.

Britain agrees that the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula should be solved in a peaceful way, and it has fully realized the positive efforts made by China in this regard, Johnson said.

Britain will continue to closely communicate with China regarding a proper solution to the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula, Johnson added.
