China said Friday the six-party talks on Korean Peninsular nuclear issue will resume in Beijing from next Thursday to Sunday.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu made the announcement here Friday afternoon. She said the decision was made by parties concerned through consultations.
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), under a joint document issued at the six-party talks on Feb. 13, should declare all nuclear programs and disable all existing nuclear facilities in exchange for a total of one million tons of heavy fuel oil or equivalent aid, with the initial shipment of 50,000 tons.
Top negotiators to the six party talks agreed in July to provide the DPRK with economic, energy and humanitarian assistance up to the equivalent of 950,000 tons of heavy fuel oil.
Jiang said earlier China has delivered the first shipment of 50,000 tons of heavy oil aid it had pledged to the DPRK and the rest is being sourced.
The six-party talks, initiated in 2003, involved China, the DPRK, the United States, the Republic of Korea, Russia and Japan.
