| US chief negotiator Christopher Hill is in Beijing again for meetings with China aimed at jump-starting stalled six-nation talks on the crisis. |
| Nov. 21 - The chief US negotiator in the North Korean nuclear impasse1 arrived in Beijing for meetings with China aimed at jump-starting stalled six-nation talks on the crisis.
"I'm here to continue discussion with the Chinese," Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill said on his arrival.
He reiterated2 the US position that the six party talks, which include hosts China, the two Koreas, the United States, Japan and Russia, were the best way to persuade Pyongyang to abandon its nuclear weapons programs.
Hill was due to meet with his Chinese counterpart, Wu Dawei, but he ignored questions on whether he would be meeting the North Korean delegate to the talks, Kim Gye-Gwan, during his visit.
"I told the Chinese that I want to leave tomorrow (Tuesday) to get back in time for Thanksgiving," Hill said, referring to the Thursday US holiday.
Hill's visit came a day after the 21 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation ( APEC) leaders called at the end of their annual summit in Hanoi for an early resumption of the talks.
North Korea is not an APEC member and was not at the meeting.
The six-nation talks, first launched in 2003 with a mission to end North Korea's nuclear ambitions, broke down a year ago when Pyongyang walked out in protest at US financial sanctions against it.
Amid fierce pressure following its atomic test, including from close ally China, North Korea agreed on October 31 to return to the six-way negotiations3.
A US embassy staffer said no further details on Hill's plans in Beijing were available.
