Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan said here Thursday that China firmly supports all the efforts conducive to the maintenance of peace and stability on the Korean peninsula.

Tang, who is here to attend the current 57th UN General Assembly session, made the statement in his meeting with foreign ministers of the European Union's "Troika."

It is the Chinese policy to maintain peace and stability on the Korean peninsula in a determined manner, and to firmly support the reconciliation and cooperation between the north and the south of the peninsula and the efforts aimed at the eventual realization of a peaceful reunification, the foreign minister said.

China also firmly supports the efforts made by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to normalize its relations with South Korea, the United States, Japan and the European Union, he said.

China will, as always, continue to play a constructive role in the maintenance of peace and stability on the Korean peninsula, he added.

The "Troika" foreign ministers are Danish Foreign Minister Per Stig Moeller, whose country holds the current presidency of the European Union (EU); Greek Foreign Minister George Papandreou, whose nation will hold the next EU presidency; Javier Solana, secretary-general of the Council of the European Union and the EU's high representative for foreign policy, and EU Commissioner for External Relations Christopher Patten.

Also on Thursday, the Chinese foreign minister held talks with Spanish Foreign Minister Ana Palacio and his Argentine counterpart Carlos Ruckauf respectively on bilateral relations as well as world and regional issues of common concern.
