China to handle N. Korean trade with view to ensuring “peace”: commerce ministry

As further sanctions loom, Beijing insists it is "strictly" implementing UNSC measures

China's Ministry of Commerce on Thursday said that Beijing will manage trade issues with North Korea, including the supply of crude oil, in a way that it believes will maintain peace and stability on the Korean peninsula.

“We will continue to help to realize the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and to deal with economic and trade issues in a way that contributes to maintaining peace and stability on the Korean peninsula,” Gao Feng, a spokesperson for the ministry, said at a regular press briefing.
