China Proposes Korean Peninsula Have No Nuclear Weapon

China proposes that the Korean peninsula should have no nuclear weapon in any form, Chinese diplomat Liu Jianchao said in Beijing on Friday.

In the daily news briefing, Liu, a member of the Chinese delegation in the six-party talks on the Korean nuclear issue, said China has made such a statement clear in the ongoing talks.

The United States delegation made its consistent stance on the Korean nuclear issue, Liu said, summing it up as "complete, verifiable and irreversible dismantling" (CVID) for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) to eliminate nuclear programs.

"The goal of CVID is the realization of a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula," Liu said. "But CVID is not enough," he added.

Different sides also have their own concern, including "the security concern" of the DPRK, he said, adding all these concerns should also be addressed.

He urged all sides to take concerted and coordinated steps to resolve these concerns.

He declined to reveal the discussions on the so-called DPRK enriched uranium program, only admitting the topic "has been discussed" in the talks.

Through the talks, all sides have a clearer understanding on the other's stance, he said.
