Kim says Pyongyang will also close a nuclear test site, but offers no plan for existing arsenal
China has welcomed North Korea’s decision to suspend nuclear tests and close a nuclear test site, saying it could help ease tension on the Korean peninsula.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang said on Saturday that China supported efforts by North Korea to address concerns with other countries through dialogue.
Lu also said Beijing hoped Pyongyang could make progress on economic development.
The comments came after North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un’s announcement at a Central Committee meeting of the ruling Workers’ Party of Korea on Friday that he would stop nuclear tests and intercontinental ballistic rocket tests from April 21.
