President Lee Myung-Bak is hosting Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama for the two-day summit as Seoul intensifies its diplomatic drive over the March tragedy that claimed 46 lives. Regional tensions have risen sharply since international investigators said the March 26 sinking was caused by a North Korean torpedo, with South Korea announcing reprisals that have sparked threats of war from the North. "South Korea will focus all diplomatic efforts on holding North Korea responsible in the summit this weekend," Lee's spokesman Park Sun-Kyoo said. China's Premier Wen Jiabao said Saturday that his country wanted to see peace and stability on the Korean peninsula, as tensions mounted. "China is persistent in supporting peace and stability on the Korean peninsula," Wen was quoted telling South Korean Prime Minister Chung Un-Chan. "We reject any act that would harm peace and stability," he said, according to Chung's spokesman. Wen was also quoted as saying that China, as a responsible member in the international community, attached importance to the outcome of a multinational investigation led by South Korea into the sinking. The talks on the southern resort island of Jeju come after a rare press conference by North Korean military officials on Friday, in which they accused the South of fabricating evidence over the sinking of the 1,200-ton Cheonan. During talks with President Lee on Friday, the Chinese premier was quoted as saying that Beijing would review the probe results in an "objective and fair" manner before determining its position. It would not protect those responsible. South Korea, the United States and Japan, which has slapped fresh sanctions on Pyongyang, are seeking China's support to sanction -- or, at least, to censure -- North Korea in the United Nations Security Council. China, a veto-wielding council member, is the North's sole major ally and economic lifeline. Unlike many countries, it has not publicly blamed Pyongyang for the sinking, one of the worst military attacks on the South since the 1950-53 war. In its latest response, North Korea again flatly rejected evidence that it torpedoed the ship, saying it does not own a midget submarine allegedly used for the attack, according to Pyongyang's official news media. Related article: NKorea rejects evidence it torpedoed ship Major General Pak Rim Su, director of the policy department of the North's powerful National Defence Commission (NDC), said at a press conference Friday the North has no 130-tonne "Salmon-class" submarine. He also rebutted Seoul's allegation that parts of a torpedo salvaged from the seabed exactly match a model that the North had offered for export. "Who in the world would hand over torpedo designs while selling torpedoes?" Pak said. South Korea's reprisals against the North include a trade cut-off and the resumption of cross-border propaganda broadcasts. Pyongyang has threatened to shell the loudspeakers now being installed along the tense frontier if the broadcasts go ahead. The North has cut all ties with the South, scrapped pacts aimed at averting accidental flare-ups along their disputed sea border and vowed to attack any intruding ships. It has threatened to shut down a jointly-run industrial park at Kaesong, the last reconciliation project still operating. The South's top military commanders were due to meet Saturday to discuss countermeasures against cross-border aggression, including any moves to take South Korean civilians hostage at Kaesong. Also on the agenda in Jeju is a possible trilateral free-trade agreement and November's G20 summit in Seoul.
