China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi called for peace, dialogue and denuclearisation on the Korean peninsula during today's talks, according to the country's state-run news agency Xinhua. Mr Kerry arrived in Beijing today to persuade Chinese leaders to exert pressure on North Korea to scale back its belligerent rhetoric and, eventually, return to nuclear talks.
