Six-Party joint document could arrive today By Qin Jize (China Daily) Updated: 2005-08-01 05:26 The heads of the six delegations agreed on Saturday morning that a joint
document would be issued to record the results of this round of talks.
They had spent Saturday afternoon reviewing a draft statement put forward by
China, host of the talks.
The draft joint document reportedly outlines broad principles regarding
Pyongyang's dismantling of its nuclear programmes, security guarantees for
Pyongyang from participating countries, economic assistance and normalization of
diplomatic relations.
The US delegation described the draft as representing "a good basis for
further negotiations and further discussion".
Diplomats said progress at the talks would be slow, with US chief negotiator
Christopher Hill telling reporters on Saturday that it was hard to tell when a
final text would be produced. "We know it takes time," he
said.
