Six-Party Talks set to resume this week

Talks on denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula will resume this week after nine months.

"The Six-Party Talks have made important progress (and) to move forward ... all parties have agreed to meet in Beijing on July 10," Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said yesterday.

The talks were on hold since October because of a dispute over the obligation of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) to declare its nuclear programs.
