The top Chinese negotiator to the six-party talks, Wu Dawei, has met with his US counterpart, Christopher Hill, in Beijing. The focus was what will happen after the Democratic People's Republic of Korea submits its overdue list of nuclear programs.

Hill says a fresh round of six-party talks on Pyongyang's nuclear program will be held soon.

Hill says a fresh round of six-party talks on Pyongyang's nuclear program will be held soon, although no date has been set. Hill says after the DPRK issues a declaration, countries involved in the six-party talks will meet to decide how to proceed with the next phase.

The DPRK agreed last year to disable its nuclear facilities and fully account for its nuclear programs in exchange for economic and political concessions but failed to meet a deadline to declare its nuclear facilities late last year.
