from Beijing, Pyongyang, Washington, Seoul, Moscow and Tokyo left it to their
deputies to continue discussions over the drafting of a joint document yesterday
afternoon following working level consultations in the morning.
The Republic Of Korea (ROK)'s chief delegate, Song Min-soon, said all parties
had come to the consensus that a strong framework should be set up with the aim
of denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula.
He told a press conference that the nations have not yet discussed the exact
wording of a final text, but during yesterday's five-hour session heard opinions
on China's proposals for a joint document.
Song said he did not know when talks would end, adding that all participating
parties would reach an agreement that represented the core aim of the talks.
He said the joint document would consult a 1992 inter-Korean pledge to make
the peninsula nuclear-free, according to Xinhua.
Under the 1992 denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula,
the ROK and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) pledged not to
test, produce, store, deploy or use nuclear weapons.
