South Korea, the United States and Russia have all agreed to hold the next-round of six-party talks on the Korean Peninsula by the end of this year.

The three countries' chief delegates to the six-party nuclear talks met in the South Korean capital, Seoul, on Wednesday.

South Korean Deputy Foreign Minister Lee Soo-hyuck, US Undersecretary James Kelly and Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Alekseyev held discussions on the current situation of the talks and DPRK's plan of a "freeze for compensation".

The three sides also vowed to cooperate with China on the issue.

After the meeting, South Korean chief negotiator Lee Soo-hyuck said that the key was to continue the talks, no matter in what form.
