　　The Chinese government is urging a joint effort to resume the Six-Party Talks aimed at ending North Korea's nuclear programme.

　　Foreign Minister Wang Yi made the pledge when addressing a symposium to commemorate⁴ the 10th anniversary of the September 19 Joint Statement on Six-Party talks.

　　"It is urgent for all the parties involved to reactivate the joint statement and make efforts to create the conditions, reach a consensus⁵ and pave the way for the resumption of the Six-Party Talks. We urge all the parties involved to take a responsible attitude and not to take any new actions that could cause tensions on the Korean Peninsula and in Northeast Asia."

　　The fourth round of Six-Party Talks in 2005 reached an agreement to facilitate the denuclearization process of North Korea and all parties made commitments in a joint statement.

　　The talks involve the US, North Korea, China, Russia, South Korea and Japan.

　　In April 2009, North Korea carried out a rocket launch, which was condemned⁶ by a UN Security Council presidential statement.

　　Pyongyang then pulled out of the talks, and the process has been at a stand-still ever since.

　　North Korea conducted a long-range missile launch in late 2012 and another nuclear test in early 2013.

　　North Korea has also recently announced the restart of atomic fuel plants, prompting speculation⁷ that the country is preparing for its fourth nuclear test.

　　For more on this, our reporter Wang Wei earlier spoke⁸ with Hong Yuan, an expert with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
