BEIJING: The situation on the Korean peninsula is getting more serious by the day and cannot be allowed to spin out of control, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told his German counterpart, the state-run China News Service said on Thursday.
«We call on all parties to be calmer than calm and not let the situation escalate out of control,» Wang reportedly said while meeting German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel on the sidelines of a United Nations meeting in New York on Wednesday.
A resolution to the North Korea issue cannot only rely on sanctions and not talks, Wang stressed.
His comments came as the war of words between Pyongyang and Washington continued.
