Two nations one dream - nuclear-free world

China and Japan called for efforts to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula yesterday, saying both sides "share the same goal" of making the zone nuclear-free.

Both countries should push forward the process of denuclearizing the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), Wu Jianghao, deputy chief of the Foreign Ministry's Department of Asian Affairs, said on the sidelines of the Fifth Beijing-Tokyo Forum in Dalian.

Themed "China-Japan Cooperative Scheme and Asian Security", the security discussion forum was held in the city's Furama Hotel, one of the oldest projects co-owned by Beijing and Tokyo.
