BEIJING, Jan. 31 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Vice Foreign
Minister Wu Dawei, who is also China's chief negotiator to the six-party talks,
said on Wednesday that he hopes the upcoming session of six-party talks will
accomplish its mission within three to four days.
Wu's remarks came after the United States and the
Democratic People's Republic of Korea ended their second-day of talks on
financial issues.
Wu said preparations are now being made for the third
phase of the fifth round of the six-party talks and he hopes they will achieve
positive results.
Wu said he is not aware of the results of the
separate talks between the United States and the DPRK, adding that China is not
planning to meet with the chief negotiators from the discussion.
Daniel Glaser, U.S. Treasury Department's deputy
assistant secretary for terrorist financing and financial crimes, held talks
with O Kwang Chol, president of the DPRK's Foreign Trade Bank at the U.S Embassy
in Beijing on Tuesday afternoon. The two sides met again on Wednesday at the
DPRK Embassy in Beijing.
China on Tuesday announced that the six-party talks
on the Korean peninsular nuclear issue will resume in Beijing on Feb. 8. The six
parties include China, the DPRK, the United States, the Republic of Korea (ROK),
