China's Ambassador to the United Nations Liu Jieyi urged the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) to "take seriously the expectations and will of the international community" to halt its nuclear and ballistic missile development and called on all relevant parties to resume negotiations "sooner rather than later" on Monday.
Liu made the remarks after the UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution to impose fresh sanctions on the DPRK over its hydrogen bomb test on September 3, which was in violation of previous Security Council resolutions.
China has been calling for the suspension of DPRK's nuclear and missile testing on the one hand and a halt to joint US-S. Korea military exercises on the other. The "double suspension" approach has also been endorsed by Russia.
Liu urged all parties to remain "cool-headed" and not to stoke tensions.
