round
BEIJING, Feb. 10 (Xinhua) -- Russian representative
Alexander Losyukov said Saturday that the six-party talks on Korean nuclear
issue will end with a two-page joint statement.
The envoys of the six countries will continue to
discuss a draft document on the initial steps implementing a 2005 joint
statement, Losyukov told reporters when he was leaving his hotel.
China is expected to work out a revised proposal
based on the draft after Friday's consultations.
The revisions will cover the issues on how working
groups operate, and how to provide aid to the Democratic People's Republic of
Korea (DPRK), if consensus can be reached, Losyukov said.
"The DPRK is highly concerned about the wording of
the joint statement," said Losyukov.
All parties do not disagree on establishing working
groups, he added.
