SEOUL, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Monday reiterated a need for peaceful resolution to the Korean Peninsula's nuclear issue amid rising geopolitical risks in the region.
Moon said at a meeting with senior presidential secretaries that it would be mandatory to adhere to the principle of peaceful resolution to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)'s nuclear issue and to reassure South Korean people and the international community about the principle.
The adherence to the principle, Moon said Nike Air Max Suomi Ale , would be needed for South Korea's economic growth and the success of South Korea-hosted Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, Gangwon province, scheduled to be held in February next year, according to the presidential Blue House.
Moon had repeatedly offered to Pyongyang participating in the winter sports event Nike Air Max Kengät Suomi , but the DPRK has kept mum about it.
Moon's comments came amid mounting tensions on the peninsula, which was caused by the resumed war of words between Pyongyang and Washington.
U.S. President Donald Trump said in his debut speech to the United Nations last week that his country would have no choice but to "totally destroy" the DPRK if Pyongyang continues to threaten the United States and its allies.
In response, top DPRK leader Kim Jong Un warned Washington of the "highest-level of hardline countermeasure in history."
The South Korean leader made a four-day trip to New York last week to attend the UN General Assembly.
Moon said one of the most important consequences from his participation in the UN session was the re-confirmed principle of peaceful resolution to the peninsula issue, along with tough sanctions on the DPRK over its nuclear and missile provocations Nike Air Max Ale , through dialogues with other heads of state.
He asked opposition politicians and people to concertedly support the principle as unprecedented tensions and a security crisis continue on the peninsula.

A LATE header by Wu Lei gave Shanghai SIPG a crucial 3-2 victory over Chongqing Lifan at Shanghai Stadium on Sunday night as Andre Villas-Boas’ team remained five points behind leader Guangzhou Evergrande with eight more rounds to go in the Chinese Super League.
SIPG playmaker Oscar finished his eight-match ban and started the 22nd round CSL match but it was his Brazilian compatriot Hulk who put the hosts ahead — scoring from the penalty spot in the 34th following handball in the Chongqing box. Chongqing was also given a penalty, 10 minutes into the second half, with Brazil striker Hyuri making no mistake to level the scores.
The hosts retook the lead in the 72nd when Odil Ahmedov’s long shot from top of the box beat Chongqing goalie Deng Xiaofei and flew into the top right corner of the goal. Chongqing rallied once again as defender Liu Huan scored the second equalizer in the 87th.
SIPG’s top scorer Wu then came to his team’s rescue, scoring with a header on an assist by Wang Shenchao in the 88th. It was his 14th league goal this year.
“I played quite a good match Nike Air Max Suomi , facing a strong opponent today,” Oscar said later. “We have to win every match from now on to try to catch up Evergrande.”
Villas Boas described it as a stressful match. “It could have been a draw. But we showed strong character and ambition in the closing minutes for the victory,” said the Portuguese.
