(VOVworld) - Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has called on related parties to seek diplomatic solutions, which he described as the unique way to ease tensions on the Korean peninsula. Wang’s appeal was delivered on Tuesday at a press conference in Beijing, one day after North Korea’s deputy UN Ambassador Kim In-Ryong had warned that they are ready to react to any mode of war if the US dares to opt for military action.
