China’s foreign minister has warned that no one has the right to bring war or chaos to the Korean Peninsula, and that anyone who does will bear responsibility. It comes just one day after Seoul fired warning shots at a suspected drone from North Korea.
„No matter which party it is, no one has the right to bring war and chaos upon the peninsula, “ Wang Yi told reporters on Wednesday, following a meeting with his German counterpart, Sigmar Gabriel.
Wang added that anyone who brings such chaos will bear „historical responsibility.“
The Chinese foreign minister also said that Beijing hopes to help bring the situation on the peninsula to the track of dialogue, adding that China already fully implements its UN Security Council sanction commitments towards North Korea, Reuters reported.
Wang’s statements come just one day after South Korea fired warning shots at a suspected drone from the North, and issued a warning broadcast.
South Korean troops fired shots at the „unidentified object“ flying across the country’s border with North Korea on Tuesday afternoon, the South’s military announced, according to Yonhap news agency.
More than 90 K-3 machine gun rounds were fired, according to a defense source cited by Yonhap.
