Chinese President Hu Jintao said Tuesday he and visiting US President Barack Obama agreed  during their talks to resolve the nuclear issues of the Korean  Peninsula and Iran through dialogue.   

"Both of us remain committed to resolving the nuclear issue on  the Korean Peninsula through dialogue and consultation," Hu said  when meeting the press with Obama after their bilateral talks.  "Such a commitment serves the common interests of China and the  United States and all other parties concerned."      

Hu said China and the United States will work with other  parties concerned to stick to the denuclearization of the Korean  Peninsula and the six-party talks process to safeguard the peace  and stability of northeast Asia.      

The two presidents stressed that it is very important for the  stability in the Middle East and the Gulf Region to uphold the  international nuclear non-proliferation regime and properly  resolve the Iran nuclear issue through dialogue and negotiation, Hu said.
