Mr Ban told his Chinese counterpart Friday that South Korea was “increasingly concerned” about the lack of progress in the talks and asked Beijing to do more to coax Pyongyang back to the talks.
“We requested a more proactive, constructive role by the Chinese government to resolve this situation peacefully,” the foreign ministry official told reporters. “We believe China has the biggest influence. We believe that they can do more.”
But China insisted its influence was limited and that all parties needed to
make efforts.“China has done a very good job, but China alone is not enough,” Mr Li told
reporters at the meeting. “We should work with other countries and the
international community to push for achieving the goal of a non-nuclearised
Korean peninsula and for peace and stability on the Korean peninsula.”
