Major nations responsible for keeping world peace - China vice premier

The world''s major nations are responsible for maintaining global peace, and all countries should remain committed to a road of stable and peaceful development, China''s Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli said on Saturday. His comments followed media reports this week that North Korea was in the final stages of preparing for another nuclear test. Earlier this month, Pyongyang launched four ballistic missiles in response to joint US-South Korea military exercises, which it regards as preparation to war.
"Large countries have the responsibility to maintain global peace, should increase strategic dialogue, increase mutual trust, and respect each other''s core interests and major concerns," Zhang said at the opening of the Boao Forum for Asia in southern China''s Hainan province.
