Amid high tensions on the Korean peninsula, China today called for emergency consultations between members of the six-nation talks on North Korean nuclear disarmament to bring peace and stability to Northeast Asia. Chinese Vice-Foreign Minister Wu Dawei told reporters in Beijing that a series of complicated factors have emerged on the Korean peninsula which have made the international community and the members of six-party talks deeply concerned.He said, the Chinese side believes it is necessary for the delegation of the six-party talks who had the important task of fully implementing the 2005 joint statement to bring about peace and stability in the Korean peninsula, to meet and exchange views to make due contribution in maintaining peace in the peninsula and easing tensions in Northeast Asia. Wu, who was part of the Chinese delegation that visited Seoul yesterday, made the statement immediately after returning today. China, a key ally of North Korea, is part of the six-party talks framework, that includes the US, Japan, Russia and two Koreas, formed in 2005 to deal with the situation arising out of North Korean regime acquiring nuclear weapons. Four South Koreans were killed in the sudden shelling by the North on Yeonpyeong on November 23, which sparked off fresh round of tensions, inviting world condemnation and retaliatory fire from the South. The South has already rejected the proposal for resumption of the six-nation talks which suffered a set back after the recent sinking of a South Korean naval vessel allegedly by North Korea.
