North and South Korea, the US, Japan, Russia and China began working-level talks yesterday to lay the foundation for a third round of the complex discussions on the North Korean nuclear crisis.
Officials from several parties involved have cautioned that scant progress can be expected at the third round of senior-level talks to be held in Beijing from Wednesday to Saturday to try to end a 20-month standoff between Washington and Pyongyang over North Korea's nuclear ambitions.
Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing (???) appeared upbeat.
