Senior China diplomat says Korean Peninsula issue cannot be resolve immediately

BEIJING (Reuters) - The Chinese government's top diplomat, State Councillor Wang Yi, said on Friday that there cannot be an immediate resolution to Korean Peninsula issue.

Wang told a news conference on the sidelines of China's annual meeting of parliament that the summit last week between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Hanoi was an important step towards a political resolution, but that all parties should have reasonable expectations.
