Japan to make all efforts to advance six-party talks, says Japanese negotiator

Japanese negotiator Kenichiro Sasae on Thursday pledged to make all efforts to push forward the six-party talks process.

He said no gathering was arranged for the heads of the six parties on Thursday, so that they could focus on one-to-one talks to make progress.

The Japanese delegation would hold talks with the United States and China separately, he said.

The fresh six-party talks started Monday after a 13-month suspension,involving China, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), the United States, the Republic of Korea (ROK), Japan and Russia.
