China said Thursday it was discussing a timetable to restart the six-party talks with the other parties involved in the issue.
"The parties have proposed various possibilities for the resumption," Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang said at a regular briefing.
"We are talking to the other parties," he said, adding that China was "open to proposals".
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Losyukov was quoted by ITAR-TASS news agency as saying on Wednesday that the talks could resume next week.
Qin said the Chinese side "had noted the remarks of the Russian chief delegate" and is consulting with other parties.
The possible resumption of the talks comes after a few weeks of shuttle diplomacy. U.S. envoy Christopher Hill and Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi have both visited the DPRK over the past fortnight.
