BEIJING - China on Tuesday reiterated its calls for calm and restraint on the Korean peninsula as North Korea said it was nearing completion of preparations to launch a rocket condemned by the West as a violation of UN Security Council resolutions.

North Korea, which is pressing ahead with plans for a satellite launch despite US and regional objections, is also preparing a third nuclear test, South Korean news reports said on Sunday.
