China has submitted the draft of a conceptual document for setting up a working group for the six-party talks, and all sides have accepted the draft, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan Tuesday.

Kong said at a regular press conference that China has always kept close contacts with the other five sides of the six-party talks on the nuclear issue of the Korean Peninsula, namely the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the United States, the Republic of Korea, Russia and Japan.

Kong said all five sides agreed with China on the draft, and the Chinese side hopes that the working group mechanism will be operated as soon as possible, so as to make preparations for next round of six-party talks.

Kong said the working group will mainly deal with the specific themes of the next round of talks.

According to the "Chairman's Statement" released at the end of the second round of six-party talks which were held last February in Beijing, the involved parties agreed to set up a working group to deal with technical issues and to hold the third round six-nation talks before June.
