Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in Beijing Saturday
that plans tabled by the United States and the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea (DPRK) shared "common elements" with many
positive ideas worthy serious study.
Wang made the remarks at a press conference after the conclusion
of the third round of the six-party talks on the Korean Peninsula
nuclear issue.
The DPRK plan emphasized the first phase of nuclear abandonment
while the United States plan stressed specific ways and measures
for the complete nuclear abandonment, he said.
