China said yesterday US policy on North Korea was the biggest obstacle to resolving the nuclear crisis on the Korean peninsula, but expressed confidence the North wanted to work for a peaceful solution.
Asked by reporters what he thought was the main obstacle to progress, China's Vice Foreign Minister Wang Yi (¤ý¼Ý), said: "The American policy towards DPRK -- this is the main problem we are facing."
North Korea, officially known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), had said its expectations at last week's talks also involving China, Japan, Russia and South Korea had been "betrayed" by "hostile" US policy.
North Korea also described the discussions as "pointless" and threw into doubt its participation at the next round of talks.
