China will not be misled by comments of various kinds and will not give up fulfilling its due duties, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Sunday when asked about the Korean Peninsula situation.

"Recently, words and actions for protest or confrontation have been enough, and we need to send voices of peace and reasonability," Wang said at a joint press conference with his Greek counterpart, Nikos Kotzias, in Athens.

Beijing will continue dialogue and consultations with all parties involved and play a constructive role in tackling the Peninsula nuclear issue, Wang said.

Wang noted that although China is neither the focus of the current situation nor the holder of the key to resolving the issue, China "has taken a dutiful attitude toward the Peninsula's peace and the region's stability and it has always been working for resuming peaceful talks on the issue".

The minister referred to the recent suggestion proposed by the Chinese side, which is "winning understanding and support from a growing number of countries".

"If the rest of the parties still bear sincerity for peace, please offer your solutions as well," Wang said.
