    BUCHAREST Wholesale Nike NBA Jerseys , June 29 (Xinhua) -- Romanian Prime Minister Victor Ponta and other high officials were evacuated and sheltered in bunkers when the NATO military base in Kandahar, Afghanistan, came under a missile attack on Sunday.

     

    According to the official Agerpres news agency, Ponta is in Kandahar Wholesale New NBA Jerseys , accompanied by Defence Minister Mircea Dusa and Deputy Prime Minister Gabriel Oprea, attending the ceremony marking the start of the pullout of Romanian troops from Afghanistan.

     

    The incident occurred while the high officials were dining with the Romanian soldiers. When alarm sounded, everybody, Ponta included Wholesale Throwback NBA Jerseys , were instructed to lie down as per the regular procedure, and were next evacuated.

     

    The Romanian officials were whisked to bunkers in armored vehicles and the civilian members of the Romanian delegation were also taken to the shelters.

     

    No one was injured and after tens of minutes, the prime minister and the two ministers resumed their visit schedule.

     

    "There was nothing special. I am sorry we didn't get to sit down longer with our troops. It was a minor incident which gave some color to the event," Ponta told a press conference after laying a wreath of flowers at the monument inside the military base devoted to the 23 Romanian soldiers who died in Afghanistan in the past 12 years.

     

    The Romanian troops in Afghanistan risk their lives several times a day Wholesale Custom NBA Jerseys , each time they go out on patrol missions, he stressed.

     

    Romania began to send troops to Afghanistan in July 2002. The action was the country's first military mission abroad after World War II.

     

    The Romanian contingent in Afghanistan currently consists of about 2,000 troops, who will progressively pull out in the coming months. But some 200 Romanian troops are likely to remain in Afghanistan Wholesale Authentic NBA Jerseys , tasked with training the Afghan Army.

     

    China and Russia pushed on Tuesday for talks to defuse the "confrontational spiral" between the US and North Korea after Kim Jong-Un stepped back from a planned missile strike near Guam.

     

    The North Korean leader said he would wait and see how the United States behaved before deciding whether to execute the planned launch of four missiles over Japan towards the tiny US territory in the Pacific.

     

    Some analysts suggested Kim was opening a possible path to de-escalating tensions, which spiked dramatically with recent bellicose exchanges between US President Donald Trump and Pyongyang.

     

    The North's official KCNA news agency said Kim was briefed on the "plan for an enveloping fire at Guam" during an inspection on Monday of the Strategic Force command in charge of the nuclear-armed state's missile units.

     

    But it said Kim would "watch a little more the foolish and stupid conduct of the Yankees" before executing any order.

     

    "In order to defuse the tensions and prevent the dangerous military conflict on the Korean peninsula, it is necessary for the US to make a proper option first," he added.

     

    His remarks prompted joy in Guam Wholesale NBA Jerseys Online , where officials described themselves as "almost ecstatic that Kim Jong-Un has backed off".

     

    China said Tuesday that the North Korean nuclear crisis had reached a "turning point" and it was time to enter peace talks.

     

    "We now hope that all the concerned parties, in what they say and what they do, can contribute to extinguishing the fire, rather than adding fuel to the fire Wholesale NBA Jerseys From China ," Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said.

     

    Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke to his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov on Tuesday in a telephone conversation focused on "ways to get out of the confrontational spiral on the Korean peninsula", according to the Russian foreign ministry.

     

    A ministry statement said both countries had "stressed the lack of any alternative to a political and diplomatic resolution" and called for "all the sides involved - with the support of the global community - to move towards setting up dialogue".

     

    'DE-ESCALATING'

     

    US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Washington was "interested in finding ways to get to dialogue" but stressed the ball was in Kim's court.

     

    The US has long maintained that the North must show some tangible commitment to denuclearisation before official talks can begin - a pre-condition rejected by Pyongyang.

     

    Kim's remarks about future US conduct were seen as a clear reference to large-scale military exercises held every year by South Korea and the United States that are expected to kick off later this month.

     

    The North has always denounced the drills as provocative rehearsals for invasion and has in the past offered a moratorium on further nuclear and missile testing in exchange for their cancellation.

     

    Some analysts said Kim was seeking a similar quid-pro-quo this time around, using the Guam missile threat as leverage.

     

    "This is a direct invitation to talk reciprocal constraints on exercises and missile launches," said Adam Mount Wholesale NBA Jerseys China , senior fellow at the Center for American Progress.

     

    John Delury of Yonsei University in Seoul said Kim was "de-escalating, putting Guam plan on ice" - at least for now.

     

    The United States and South Korea insist their annual joint exercises are purely defensive, and cannot be linked to the North's missile programme, which violates a host of UN resolutions.

     

    'FIRE AND FURY'

     

    Tensions have been mounting since the North tested two intercontinental ballistic missiles last month Wholesale NBA Jerseys , which appeared to bring much of the US within range.

     

    Responding to the tests, President Trump warned Pyongyang of "fire and fury like the world has never seen", while the North responded with the Guam threat.

     

    South Korean President Moon Jae-In weighed in on Tuesday, saying Seoul would avoid a second Korean War at all costs and stressing that "no one may decide to take military action without the consent of the Republic of Korea".
