With the push of South Korea, Japan, and the United States, the Chinese government promised Sunday, February 27, to bring back North Korea to the six-way talks on nuclear issues with a “sense of urgency.” According to Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Wu Dawei, China is concerned that if the six-way talk is not enforced, a “serious situtation” will arise. Kenichiro Sasae, head of the Japanese Foreign Ministry’s Asian and Oceanian Affairs Bureau also agreed that “If the six-way talks are not held its effectiveness and trustworthiness could be undermined.”
