"China and Russia maintain close contacts on the Korean Peninsula issue. The two countries have done much together in order to ensure peace and stability in the region," he said, commenting on the upcoming meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. "Thanks to the joint efforts of China and Russia, a roadmap has been created to resolve the situation on the Peninsula through political means. The situation has improved and we are ready to facilitate denuclearization efforts together with other interested parties, including Russia," Geng Shuang added.
He pointed out that Beijing had friendly relations with Moscow and Pyongyang so it viewed their steps to boost cooperation positively.
