Chief negotiators picked up the fourth round of six-party talks on Korean Peninsular nuclear issue by holding the first meeting in Beijing Tuesday afternoon after a five-week adjournment.

The chief delegates of the six parties held their first plenary meeting in Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing, chaired by Chinese delegation head Wu Dawei, according to a press release from Chinese delegation.

The six parties, including China, Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), the United States, Republic of Korea (ROK), Russia and Japan, agree to denuclearize the Korean peninsular, but the differences between the DPRK and the United States remain far apart.

While addressing the chief negotiators' meeting, Wu, also Chinese vice foreign minister, urged the parties concerned to exchange views on the goal of denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and keep moving forward based on the consensus that have been reached.

The denuclearization of Korean peninsular is linked with major interests and concerns of all parties, said Wu, hoping the parties could further show their flexibility, walk towards each other in the spirit of mutual respect, mutual understanding and compromise.

Wu also urged the parties concerned to seek a balanced win-win solution through flexible, pragmatic and constructive consultations so that the talks can make progress.

Chief negotiators agreed to exert utmost efforts to push forward the negotiation process, the press release said.

The negotiators agreed that much consensus has been reached during the 13-day negotiations five weeks ago, but "tasks remaining ahead were still arduous".
