Six-party talks to resume Tuesday in Beijing
font size    

Envoys to the six-party talks will gather in Beijing on Tuesday after a five-week recess, in a bid to negotiate for a peaceful solution to the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue.

Alexander Alexeyev, head of the Russian delegation, took the lead in arriving in the Chinese capital,ahead of those from the DPRK, the United States, the ROK and Japan.

Diplomats from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), the United States, the Republic of Korea (ROK) and Japan are expected to reach Beijing on Tuesday.

Alexeyev said at the Beijing airport that Russia wishes the six-party talks a success.

He said the Russian side would try its best and hoped that all the other parties could make joint effort for the adoption of a common document.

A flurry of diplomatic activities were conducted during the recess in a bid to iron out the differences.

The DPRK and the United States maintained direct contacts via diplomatic channels such as the United Nations.

Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Wu Dawei paid visit to Japan and the DPRK at the end of August and exchanged views with leaders of the two nations on the resumption of the talks.

Besides,ROK Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Ban Ki-Moon also visited China and the United States,holding talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing and US State Secretary Condoleezza Rice.

Parties concerned confirmed the progresses of the first phase as a series of bilateral and multilateral consultations have been made in a sincere and harmonious atmosphere.

In the first phase of the talks, the DPRK insisted that it be allowed to carry out peaceful nuclear activities. The United States, however, urged Pyongyang to abandon all its nuclear programs, including civilian nuclear activities.

Analysts said how to bridge the disputes on the civilian nuclear activities and the scope of denuclearization are the key of whether a common document will be reached in this round of talks.

The current round of six-party talks launched on July 26 after a 13-month standoff. But the record 13-day talks came into a stalemate as parties concerned failed to reach a common document.
