The remarks came at a meeting between Yang, who arrived in Seoul earlier in the day on a two-day visit, and his South Korean counterpart Kim Sung-hwan.

Though the tension on the peninsula has eased somewhat recently thanks to the joint efforts by related parties, uncertainties still remain, the Chinese top diplomat said.

China hopes all parties concerned will focus on the overall interest and make more efforts to create conditions for early resumption of the international nuclear disarmament talks, and get the relevant issues on the peninsula back to the track of dialogue and consultation, Yang said.

In response, Kim said Republic of Korea (ROK) and China share a common goal of maintaining peace and stability and realize denuclearization on the peninsula.

Hailing China's support on inter-Korean dialogue, Kim said Seoul is willing to work together with China to maintain good- neighborliness and seek common ground while ironing out differences, for further development of the bilateral relations and peace, stability and co-prosperity of the region.

The two ministers also spoke highly of development of the relationship between the two sides.

They agreed to maintain impetus of high-level exchange, deepen mutually beneficial cooperation, boost people-to-people exchange and strengthen coordination and cooperation in international and regional affairs, to achieve greater development of the strategic cooperative partnership between the two nations.
