賴斯與中外長討論聯合國對北韓制裁 (Rice, China's FM Discuss UN Sanctions Against North Korea)

美國國務卿賴斯與中國外長李肇星討論了實施聯合國對北韓進行核子試驗後對其實施制裁的重要性。賴斯和李肇星會談結束後表示，國際社會需要確保北韓沒有對危險的非法物資進行“中轉和貿易”。賴斯還說，她與李肇星還談到為恢復北韓核問題六方談判留出通道的重要性。

中國外交部長呼籲北韓核爭端有關各方保持冷靜。同時，中國特使唐家璇星期五表示，他本星期早些時候對北韓的訪問“並非一無所獲”。李肇星稱唐家璇此行增進了彼此了解。唐家璇星期四與北韓領導人金正日會晤，轉達了中國國家主席胡錦濤的口信。

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and China's Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing have discussed the importance of implementing U.N. sanctions on North Korea put in place after its nuclear test. Following talks with Li in Beijing, Rice said the international community needs to make sure there is not a "transit and trade" in dangerous illegal materials from North Korea. She also said they spoke about the importance of leaving a path open to resuming six-party talks on North Korea's nuclear program.

The Chinese foreign minister appealed on all sides involved in the North Korean dispute to remain calm. Meanwhile, Chinese envoy Tang Jiaxuan said Friday that his visit to North Korea earlier this week was "not in vain," while Li said it increased mutual understanding. Tang met with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il Thursday to deliver a message from Chinese President Hu Jintao.
