Chinese President Xi Jinping said after the latest North Korean nuclear test that “the flame of war” can only be extinguished through dialogue.

Xi did not directly address the test in remarks at a summit in southeast China, but said a “dark shadow” hangs over the world, according to The Guardian.

“Thanks to the joint effort of all countries, global peace has reigned for more than half a century. However, incessant conflicts in some parts of the world and hotspot issues are posing challenges to world peace,” Xi told leaders of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, the news outlet reported.

“The intertwined threats of terrorism and a lack of cybersecurity – among others – have cast a dark shadow over the world,” he added. “People around the world want peace and cooperation, not conflict or confrontation.”
