Chinese chief negotiator on the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue, Wu Dawei, on Tuesday inspected the process of disablement of nuclear facilities in Yongbyon in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
"The disablement process is going on smoothly under the procedure agreed by the six-party talks," Wu told Xinhua.
"The engineers from the DPRK and the U.S. are working hard for this(disablement)," he added.
During his trip, Wu also had talks with DPRK nuclear envoy Kim Gue Guam and met with DPRK Foreign Minister Pak Ui Chun.
According to a six-party talks joint document released in Beijing on Oct. 3, the DPRK agreed to disable all its existing nuclear facilities and provide a complete and correct declaration of all its nuclear programs by the end of this year.
The document said the disablement of the five-megawatt Experimental Reactor, the Reprocessing Plant (Radiochemical Laboratory) and the Nuclear Fuel Rod Fabrication Facility in Yongbyon would be completed by Dec. 31.
Wu, also Chinese vice foreign minister, arrived here on Monday for a three-day visit.
