Six-nation talks on disarming North Korea’s nuclear program moved closer Saturday to an agreement on ways to verify the communist nation’s declaration of its nuclear materials.
Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi met with the negotiators, lauding their progress in three days of talks.
“Thanks to the joint efforts of all parties concerned, we have made important and initial success, which has captured the attention of the world in the six-party talks process,” he said at the start of their meeting at the state guesthouse.
The progress shows that the talks “are an effective platform for solving the Korean nuclear issue” and achieving regional stability, Yang said.
