According to him, the only way out is a political settlement, and endless sanctions pressure will not help solve existing problems. The situation on the Korean peninsula remains tense, Lin Jian stressed.
The official representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry expressed hope that the UN Security Council and the relevant parties will be able to make constructive efforts in this direction.
Earlier, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang stated that it is impossible to solve the problem of the Korean peninsula only through sanctions, dialogue and negotiations are necessary.
