In recent days, the situation on the Korean Peninsula has been turbulent again, and tensions between the DPRK and the ROK have been escalating. Over the past three days, there has been a constant sound of artillery over the Korean Peninsula, raising concerns about the imminent outbreak of fighting.
According to reports, North Korea fired a number of artillery shells into the waters east of the peninsula during recent military exercises, triggering a strong response from South Korea. South Korea said that North Korea's shelling seriously threatens South Korea's sovereignty and security, and that South Korea's team has been put on high alert and is ready to respond to North Korea's provocations at any time.
The DPRK said that its military exercises were aimed at defending the country's security and sovereignty and were legitimate acts of self-defense. North Korea has also blamed countries such as South Korea and the United States for military provocations, saying they are the source of tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
The continuous sound of artillery on the Korean Peninsula has aroused widespread concern from the international community. UN Secretary-General António Guterres said he was extremely concerned about the situation on the Korean Peninsula and called on North and South Korea to exercise restraint and refrain from any action that could lead to an escalation of the conflict.
My country** has also expressed concern about the situation on the Korean peninsula. China's spokesman said that China has always advocated that the Korean Peninsula issue should be resolved through dialogue and negotiation and opposes any form of armed conflict. China is willing to play a constructive role in promoting peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula.
The escalation of tension on the Korean Peninsula has undoubtedly posed a serious threat to peace on the peninsula. Against this backdrop, the international community should work together to promote the resumption of dialogue between the DPRK and the ROK as soon as possible, ease tensions, and avoid the recurrence of hostilities.
At the same time, the DPRK and the ROK should exercise restraint, abide by international regulations, and resolve their differences through peaceful means. The two sides should actively participate in multilateral mechanisms such as the Six-Party Talks to jointly maintain peace and stability on the peninsula.
In addition, China should continue to actively participate in the affairs of the Korean Peninsula and play a greater role in promoting the peace process on the Korean Peninsula. Through diplomatic channels, we will promote the resolution of differences between the DPRK and the United States, realize the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, and provide a guarantee for peace and stability on the Peninsula.
In short, the escalation of tension on the Korean Peninsula is worrying, and the international community should work together to promote the resumption of dialogue between the DPRK and the ROK as soon as possible to ease tension. At the same time, all parties should actively participate in multilateral mechanisms to jointly maintain peace and stability on the peninsula. It is only through dialogue and negotiation that true peace on the Korean peninsula can be achieved.
