China on Tuesday said it hopes the parties involved in the six-party talks to steadily push forward the talks, but no specific date has yet been set for the second phase of the sixth round of the six-party talks.
Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Jiang Yu made the remarks at a regular press conference on Tuesday afternoon, noting that China hopes all the parties to implement the agreements already reached in accordance with the principle of "mutual trust, mutual interaction, mutual assistance and mutual benefit" and in a all-round, balanced and phased way.
On commenting the bilateral working group talks between the United States and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on normalizing their bilateral relations, Jiang said China welcomes the positive progress made in the talks.
Jiang said China has always supported the United States and the DPRK to improve their relations and hoped the two countries could continue to increase mutual trust through more contacts and resolve their concerns through bilateral consultations.
Working groups from Japan and the DPRK will hold their second meeting on normalizing bilateral relations on Wednesday in the Mongolian capital of Ulan Bator. Jiang said China also supported the improvement of the relations between the two countries and hopes to see positive results from the meeting.
The six-party talks, initiated in 2003, include China, the DPRK, the United States, the Republic of Korea, Russia and Japan. In a session of the six-party talks held in July, envoys to the talks agreed to meet in Beijing in early September for the second session of the sixth round to hear working group reports and work out a road map for the implementation of the general consensus reached in July.
