CHINESE Vice Foreign Minister Wu Dawei and Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexei Borodavkin agreed in talks yesterday in Moscow that the situation on the Korean Peninsula and in Northeast Asia was of major concern.
Their concern was driven by escalating tensions that they agreed could trigger a new arms race, threatening regional security.
They said all parties involved should remain calm and refrain from taking any action that might further aggravate the situation.
They said all relevant issues could be resolved through peaceful and diplomatic solutions such as negotiations, consultation and dialogue.

Maintain peace
