Q: What is the comment of the Chinese Government on the visit to DPRK by Secretary Albright? What position does China take on a possible visit to DPRK by President Clinton?


A: The Chinese Government has consistently committed itself to the maintenance of peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula. All things that conduce to the realization of this objective are always welcomed and supported by the Chinese side. We welcome Secretary Albright's visit and the significant progress made in the improvement of relations between the DPRK and the US. We hope that this trend will continue, leading ultimately to the normalization of ties between the two countries.
