China to press for nuclear disarmament in North Korea

Beijing: China has agreed to pressurise North Korea to dismantle its nuclear programme to the US secretary of State John Kerry on Friday. Kerry landed in Beijing after a day of meeting with South Korea, for his Asia trip.

Kerry told reporters in Beijing that “almost every subject of concern for the United States and China and the region” was discussed with Chinese leaders, including “the commitment that the United States and China share to achieve a de-nuclearized North Korea, as well as a special role that China can play in helping to make that goal a reality.”

China is North Korea’s main ally and is seen as the country with greatest influence in North Korea. China has already shown its stand on the totalitarian government with its ban on exports of several weapons technologies that had any nuclear potential to North Korea
