Senior Russian and Chinese diplomats concerned about the situation on the Korean Peninsula — MFA – Russian Politics & Diplomacy

MOSCOW, October 30. /TASS/. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko and Chinese Special Representative for Korean Peninsula Affairs Liu Xiaoming discussed the situation in the relevant region during consultations in Beijing, expressing concern over US actions, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement communicated.

“The parties expressed deep concern over the rise in regional tensions, attributing the cause to the dangerous increase in joint military activities by the US and its allies, as well as their formation of military-political alliances that compromise the security of other countries in Northeast Asia” , the statement released following the October 28 consultations reads.

Rudenko and Liu Xiaoming stressed that in order to maintain peace on the Korean Peninsula and prevent a large-scale conflict, the West must abandon the Cold War-era approach of confrontation between the blocs.

“Russia and China will continue close coordination and dense interaction, including within the UN, in the interest of creating a fair system of indivisible security on the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia,” the diplomatic ministry concluded.
