Seoul's top nuclear envoy on Wednesday requested for China to play a constructive role in the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula during a meeting with Beijing's ambassador to Seoul, the foreign ministry said.

According to the ministry, Cho expressed concerns over North Korea's provocations and illegal military cooperation with Russia, urging Beijing to play a constructive role in halting these actions, and for peace, stability and denuclearization on the peninsula.
