问：据报道，美国总统特朗普17日表示，如进展顺利，可能会在6月初或更早与朝鲜最高领导人金正恩会晤。美已与朝方在非常高的级别进行了直接对话。还有报道称美国中情局局长蓬佩奥已秘密访问朝鲜。中方对此怎么看？中方是否愿在美朝领导人会晤中发挥作用？
答：我们注意到美方有关表态。中方对美朝开展直接接触对话表示欢迎。
俗话说，好的开始是成功的一半。我们希望朝美对话能顺利举行并取得积极成果。积土成山，风雨兴焉。希望有关各方能够谈起来、谈下去，不断增进互信，扩大共识，沿着“双轨并进”思路，推进半岛问题政治解决进程，既推进并实现半岛的无核化；又推进并建立半岛和平机制，在此过程中照顾各方合理安全关切，最后形成“一揽子”解决，从根本上实现半岛的长治久安。
Q: According to reports, US President Donald Trump said on April 17 that his meeting with the DPRK leader Kim Jong-un would take place in early June or a little before that, assuming things go well. The US and the DPRK have had direct talks at very high levels. Reports also said that CIA Director Mike Pompeo had made a secret visit to the DPRK. How does China view this? Is China willing to play a role in the upcoming US-DPRK summit?
A: We have noted the relevant remarks of the US side. China welcomes the direct contacts and talks between the US and the DPRK.
Just as a proverb goes, "Well begun is half done". We hope that the dialogue between the DPRK and the US will be held smoothly and achieve positive outcomes. "When earth piles up into mountains, wind and rain will originate thereof." We hope that all relevant parties will begin and continue with their talks, accumulate mutual trust and build up consensus. We expect them to follow the "dual track" approach to advance the political settlement process of the Korean Peninsula issue, so as to promote and achieve the denuclearization on the one hand and establish the peace regime of the Peninsula on the other hand. In this process, the legitimate security concerns of all relevant parties need to be accommodated to form a package solution so that the long-lasting peace and stability will be realized on the Korean Peninsula.
