　　问：据报道，美方昨天称，中方可能会妨碍美方解决朝鲜问题。中方对此有何评论？ 

　　答：中方在半岛问题上的立场众所周知，我这里就不重复了。 

　　长期以来，我们为推动政治解决半岛问题作出了不懈努力，得到了国际社会的普遍认可。事实上，中美之间就半岛问题也一直保持着密切的沟通与协调。 

　　我们希望有关各方同中方一道努力，抓住当前半岛局势趋稳的契机，相向而行，推动半岛问题早日得到政治解决，半岛无核化早日实现。

Q: According to reports, the US side said yesterday that China may be getting in their way on resolving the DPRK issue. Do you have any comment on this? 

A: China's position on the Korean Peninsula issue is well known to you all, so I will not repeat it here. 

For a long time, China has made unremitting efforts to promote the political settlement of the Korean Peninsula issue, which has been universally acknowledged by the international community. In fact, China and the United States have always maintained close communication and coordination on the Korean Peninsula issue. 

We hope that all relevant parties can work with China to seize the opportunity presented by the current detente on the Korean Peninsula and meet each other half-way so as to realize the political settlement of the Korean Peninsula issue and achieve the denuclearization of the Peninsula at an early date.
