China will \"help resolve the iThursday, 3 June 2010 by Bluenesslan  Bluenesslan Wen tries to defuse tension Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao Sunday stressed the importance of avoiding a confrontation over the sinking of a South Korean warship as the two Koreas continued to trade threats and military tension continues to rise on the peninsula. Wen\'s comments came at the end of wedding dresses, an annual summit with leaders of South Korea and Japan. The three nations announced a new blueprint for all-encompassing cooperation in trade investment wedding dresses, finance, environmental protection and the economy, and agreed to form a permanent secretariat in 2011 in South Korea. However, economic issues, which were supposed to be the focus of the meeting, were overshadowed by the sinking of the South Korean vessel Cheonan in March,which killed 46 sailors, and a multinational investigation into the sinking that blames a North Korean torpedo attack. \"The most urgent task for the moment is to properly handle the serious impact caused by the incident, gradually defuse tensions over it, and avoid possible conflicts,\" Wen said at the closing conference of the two-day summit in South Korea. China will \"help resolve the incident in a way that benefits peace and security.\" North Korea has repeatedly denied attacking the South Korean ship. About 100,000 people packed the main square in Pyongyang Sunday for a rally condemning South Korea and Eve isk, the US, according to North Korean state media. Slogans painted on the stage at the mass rally denounced South Korean President Lee Myung-bak as a traitor, it said. \"Because of the South Korean war-loving, mad puppets Eve isk and American invaders, the North-South relationship is being driven to a catastrophe,\" Choe Yong-rim, secretary of the North Korean Workers\' Party in Pyongyang, told the crowd, AP reported. He also rebutted Seoul\'s allegation that North Korea torpedoed the South Korean warship. The North has cut all ties with the South, scrapped pacts aimed at averting accidental flare-ups along their disputed sea border, vowed to attack any intruding ships and warned of an \"all-out\" war for any punishment against it. On Friday, North Korea\'s military held an extremely rare news conference, speaking directly to international media, to deny any role in the sinking of the Cheonan and claim the South-led five-nation investigation had a number of flaws.
