BEIJING: Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for restraint when dealing with North Korea during a telephone call with his US counterpart Donald Trump.
Chinese state media say Chinese President told Donald Trump that China strongly opposed North Korea's nuclear weapons program.
However he expressed hope all parties will exercise restraint and avoid aggravating the situation on the Korean Peninsula.
The Trump administration has warned that all options, including a military strike, are on the table ahead of a possible sixth nuclear test by Pyongyang, which could come as early as this week.
