For his part, Pak acknowledged Washington’s recognition of China’s contributions to the matter and expressed a desire for continued communication and collaboration to address the challenges on the Korean Peninsula.<\/p>\n

North Korea’s recent guided missile tests have raised concerns not only in South Korea but also in Japan, another key US ally in the region. In response, the three countries have intensified military cooperation and joint exercises aimed at countering the North Korean threat.<\/p>\n

While the US administration urges China to leverage its influence over Pyongyang to compel North Korea to abandon its nuclear and missile programs, Beijing insists that resolving the issue requires addressing the underlying mistrust between the US and North Korea.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
