China urges US, N.Korea to hold talks ‘sooner than later’ 18 SHARES Share it! Foreign Minister Wang Yi cautiously welcomed Seoul’s announcement that Pyongyang had offered to hold denuclearization talks with the United States in return for security guarantees. We call on the parties, particularly the United States and the DPRK, to engage in dialogue sooner rather than later,” he said. “I’ve repeatedly said that we have to create a situation of putting maximum pressure on North Korea so that the North wants to have talks with us,” Abe told MPs. “Talks for the sake of talks are meaningless and we should never loosen sanctions just because North Korea is open to talks.”Tags: China, Foreign minister, Manila Bulletin, North Korea, UN, US, Wang Yi
