Q: The DPRK and the ROK held two rounds of high-level talks at Panmunjom on February 12 and 14. The latter one saw the two sides coming to agreements. What is China's comment?
A: We are pleased to learn that the DPRK and the ROK agreed at the high-level talks that they will hold the reunion of separated families as scheduled, stop slandering each other and continue with their high-level talks. China expresses its support and congratulation. Today is the Lantern Festival, and the positive progress in DPRK-ROK relations has added festivity to the day. The agreement comes as the two sides take into consideration the overall national interests, regional peace and stability, accommodate and understand each other. We applaud that.
China has long been supporting the two sides on the Korean Peninsula in improving relations. We hope that they would enhance cooperation and further ease the situation on the Peninsula.
