China maintains its traditional stance on ensuring peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula, according to officials in Seoul. Foreign Minister Wang Yi did not explicitly endorse North Korea's denuclearization during his recent meeting in the city. Instead, he pledged to work towards peace and stability, a minor change in wording that mirrors China's recent approach.
Seoul's Foreign Minister Cho Hyun highlighted the city's efforts to achieve denuclearization and peace on the peninsula and called for China's role in encouraging North Korea to rejoin diplomatic talks.

China has consistently stressed that its policy toward the Korean Peninsula remains unchanged and stable, reaffirming this position.
