China has urged that all relevant parties should advance denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula under the framework of six party talks.

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying made the statement one day after North Korea announced its first successful hydrogen bomb test.

"To achieve the denuclearization as well as the long-term peace and stability on Korean Peninsula is in the common interests of all the relevant parties, thus all parties should take responsibility and make joint efforts. Just like a tango dance needs two people's cooperation, six party talks require cooperative and conscientious dialogues. We hope that relevant parties get back onto the right path of settling the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue under the framework of six party talks in view of regional peace and stability."

The spokesperson also said that China consistently advocates a peaceful settlement of relevant parties' concerns through dialogues and negotiations.

The Six Party Talks involving North Korea, South Korea, China, the United States, Russia and Japan, were launched in 2003.

The dialogue has been suspended since 2008.
