No progress on talks

BEIJING: U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill left Beijing for Seoul on Thursday without much progress on resuming six-party talks. Mr. Hill told reporters that he and Chinese Vice-Foreign Minister Wu Dawei reaffirmed interests for the both sides in the talks. They also discussed where the talks need to go and how to implement the September agreement once the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) comes back to the table, according to Mr. Hill. Mr. Hill said the U.S. remained committed to the six-party talks mechanism. Last September, China, the DPRK, the U.S., the ROK, Russia and Japan issued a joint statement establishing a frame for a package solution to the nuclear issue. — Xinhua
