BEIJING, Aug. 24 (Xinhua) -- China urged all parties involved in the Korean Peninsular nuclear issue to "strictly, completely and exactly" abide by UN Security Council Resolution 2270 on Wednesday.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lu Kang was responding to a question at daily press briefing concerning a submarine-launched ballistic missile(SLBM) fired by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) earlier on Wednesday. Resolution 2270 was passed in March condemning DPRK's missile launches.
The missile was fired off the DPRK east coast and flew about 500 km towards Japan before landing in the sea, further than any previous test-firing.
"We believe that all parties to the Korean Peninsular nuclear issue should avoid action that may escalate tension, as the situation is complex and sensitive," Lu said.
