BEIJING, Oct. 12 (UPI) -- China says it opposes military acts in the Korean Peninsula but urged North Korea, which conducted a nuclear test, to refrain from aggravating the issue.
"China opposes any military action to resolve the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue," a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman told the official Xinhua news agency.
The spokesman also said North Korea "should refrain from any action that may aggravate the Korean Peninsula situation," and asked that country to return to the six-party talks that include China, Russia, the United States, Japan and the two Koreas.
The spokesman said, "We believe that the denuclearization and the maintaining of peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula best serve the interests of all parties."
