Russia and China
each signaled Monday a desire for a peaceful resolution to the tensions
surrounding North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic missile activity. Russian
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told state-run media that no one wants to see
war on the Korean Peninsula and that he hopes the United States is not planning
a military approach to resolving the situation.
Chinese Foreign
Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said during a briefing Monday that all
countries should “exercise restraint and make proactive and constructive
efforts to ease the tensions on the peninsula.” China also said new U.N.
sanctions should not have a detrimental humanitarian impact on North Korean civilians
or affect “normal economic exchanges and cooperation.”
