China urged once again all concerned parties to make efforts to resume the six-party talks about the Korean Peninsular nuclear issue, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan in Beijing Thursday.

Kong made the remark at a regular press conference and said China has been in close contacts with the other five parties.

Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing exchanged views in depth on the latest developments of the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during a phone conversation Tuesday night.

Chinese Ambassador to Korean Peninsula Affairs Ning Fukui also met on Tuesday and Wednesday with Russian Ambassador to China Igor Rogachev, Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to China Kim Ha Joong and Japanese Ambassador to China Koreshige Anami. They discussed the latest developments of the situation on the Korean Peninsular.

Kong said the Chinese side said again during these meetings that it hopes all parties stick to the goal of a nuclear-free Korean Peninsular and strive to safeguard the peace and stability there.

China hopes all parties show sincerity and flexibility to do positive and constructive work for the restart of six-party talks, said Kong.
