China on Wednesday urged all parties to make efforts for an early resumption of the six-party talks on the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said at a regular press conference that China hoped all parties could take a flexible attitude toward the issues arising from the talks.

She said it is against the interests of all parties and not conducive to peace and stability in Northeast Asia that the talks failed to resume for so long.

"China hopes all parties will take a flexible attitude toward the issues that have risen in the talks and strive for an early resumption and new progress of the talks," said Jiang.

She noted that the Chinese side will keep close contacts with all the other parties and continue to make constructive contribution in this regard.
