China calls for dialogue
CHINA'S Foreign Ministry said yesterday it was still weighing the evidence over the deadly sinking of a South Korean warship that Seoul blames on North Korea.
Allegations that Pyongyang is behind the incident has complicated Premier Wen Jiabao's upcoming visit to South Korea, where he was to attend a three-way weekend summit with his South Korean and Japanese counterparts.
Vice Foreign Minister Zhang Zhijun said China regarded the sinking as "extremely complicated," but added China had no first-hand data about the cause.
"China is carefully and prudently studying and examining the information from all sides," Zhang said.
He reiterated China's calls for all sides to engage in dialogue and avoid hostile actions that could escalate tensions.
"We hold that dialogue is better than confrontation, and relaxation is better than tension," Zhang said.
