Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Wu Dawei has exchanged views with US top nuclear negotiator Christopher Hill in Seoul and Hill said the United States has no hostility towards the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), sources with the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Thursday.

Hill also said that the United States is ready to hold earnest dialogues with Pyongyang within the framework of the six-party talks and discuss in detail any issue the DPRK is concerned with.

Wu Dawei is currently paying a visit to the Republic of Korea (ROK), and both China and ROK agreed that it is very important to hold next round of six-party talks on the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue at an early date.

The two sides also called for every party involved in the talks to carry out earnest consultations over all concerns such as achieving a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula and security issue.
