No result was achieved in the fourth round of six-party talks on
Wednesday, the second day of the event, said Russian delegation
head Alexander Alexeyev.???
"There are still substantial and even conceptual differences
between North Korea and the US," Alexeyev, deputy foreign minister
of Russia, was quoted by the Interfax as saying.
It is reported that the North Korean and the US delegations will
hold another meeting this morning. Alexeyev said that the outcome
of bilateral consultations will influence the result of six-party
talks to a large extent.
He said that all the six parties remain cautiously optimistic
about the current round of talks and continue to work together to
narrow the differences between North Korea and the US.
