China said on Tuesday that it supports relevant parties in conducting dialogue and contact to solve the North Korean nuclear crisis.

Beijing said the main contention was between the US and North Korea.

"The root of the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue lies in the differences between the DPRK and the United States," China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang said.

He said China always supported relevant parties, including North Korea and the US in strengthening communication to enhance mutual understanding and in finding a solution through dialogue and consultation.

Under the current circumstances, China hopes that relevant parties can make more efforts in this regard and play a constructive role in maintaining peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and properly resolving the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue, said Geng
