HANOI, July 13 (Xinhua) -- Vietnam always supports the policy of denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula and hopes relevant parties would settle their differences and disputes through dialogues, a foreign ministry spokesman said on Thursday.

    "Vietnam wants relevant parties to exercise extreme restraint, seek peaceful solutions to lessen tensions, and deal with all differences and dispute through dialogues," spokesman Le Dung said.

    He made the remarks in response to questions about Vietnam's stance on potential UN sanctions proposed by Japan against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) over its recent missile tests.

    Vietnam wants to see peace, stability and development in the northeast Asian region, he said. Enditem
