Both sanctions against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's (DPRK) nuclear and missile programs and resumption of the six-party talks are important and neither should be neglected, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Sunday.
Wang made the remarks here on the sidelines of a series of foreign ministers' meetings, in response to a question regarding the new UN Security Council resolution over the DPRK's test launch of intercontinental ballistic missiles in July.
China, as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, upheld an impartial and objective position and played a responsible and constructive role in the process of the adoption of the resolution, he said.
According to Wang, there are two major components in the resolution: one is to make a necessary response to the DPRK's constant missile launch activities which have violated UN Security Council resolutions in a bid to effectively check DPRK's nuclear and missile development programs.
