China Calls For Responsibility As It Pushes North Korea Talks Again

BEIJING (Reuters) - China called on Saturday for all parties involved in talks on North Korea's nuclear program to adopt a responsible attitude and not take any action to exacerbate tension, as it pushed again for a resumption of the stalled negotiations.

This week, the North announced a plan to fire a long-range rocket that it says is for a space program. It also said it was working to improve its nuclear arsenal.
