China, host of six-nation talks on ending North Korea's nuclear ambition, has notified related
countries of its intent to resume fresh round of talks from next Wednesday, Yonhap news agency reported in Beijing Tuesday.
The new round will be a two-day meeting with a possible one-day extension, Yonhap
quoted a diplomat here, speaking on condition of anonymity, as saying.
Qin Gang, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, was later quoted by the APF as telling reporters that China hopes to "hold the next head of delegation meeting in the middle of the month."
"But this still needs the consent of all parties," the spokesman added.
