Chinese Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi said Tuesday during meetings with heads of delegations for the six-party talks that the talks demonstrated the political will to seek peaceful ways to resolve the nuclear issue through dialogue.
Wang met with heads of the other five delegations Monday and Tuesday. They are Head of Russian delegation Alexander Losiukov, Head of the United States delegation James Kelly, Head of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) Kim Yong Il, Head of the Republic of Korea (ROK) delegation Lee Soo-Hyuck, and Head of the Japanese delegation Mitoji Yabunaka.
The six-party talks have been supported by the governments and people of the six countries, and have had great concerns and expectations from the international community, Wang said.
He hoped that all delegations would expound their positions fully at the talks, and listen to the views of other parties so that the talks can lay a solid foundation for the continuation of the Beijing negotiation process.
Heads of the five delegations thanked China for its efforts in starting the peaceful negotiation process. They said they highly valued this opportunity in Beijing and would work together to make the talks a "good meeting."
