[QUOTE][B]WELLINGTON[/B]: New Zealand Prime Minister John Key has been accused of "ramping up the rhetoric" and talking up the prospect of war with comments about New Zealand's role in another Korean conflict.
Mr Key has since distanced himself from those comments, saying war between South Korea and North Korea is "a remote possibility" and he doesn't want to speculate on New Zealand's role.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE][B]The last thing we need is the Prime Minister of New Zealand going to China and talking about a war on the Korean peninsula[/B][/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]He earlier told reporters in Guangzhou, during his visit to China, that New Zealand could support old allies the US and Australia if there was a war in the Korean peninsula.
"I wouldn't want to speculate, but obviously we have got a long and proud history of coming to the support of South Korea," he said.
Labour leader David Shearer says the international community is trying to calm the situation.
"No one should be talking up the prospect of war, the international community is focused on de-escalation," he said.
"John Key's comments were irresponsible, he must be more careful."
Green Party co-leader Russel Norman says Mr Key "totally jumped the gun . . . the last thing we need is the Prime Minister of New Zealand going to China and talking about a war on
the Korean peninsula."
In his later comments, Mr Key denied saying New Zealand would follow the United States and Australia.
"What I said was if there was a situation that got to the extreme, New Zealand would consider its position."
