All the parties involved in talks on the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue will work together Sunday on the drafting of a joint document, said an official of the Japanese delegation to the ongoing six-party talks in Beijing.
??
As the fourth round of the six-party talks entered into the sixth day Sunday, the parties would embark on a working-level discussion over the draft of a joint document in the morning.
??
The Chinese side presented the text of a draft joint document at the meeting of a delegation heads Saturday morning.
??
US chief delegate Christopher Hill said Saturday night, "The Chinese text represents a good basis for future negotiations and future discussions."
?
It also served as "a good basis for final document and final agreement," said the US assistant secretary of state.
?
Hill said every party involved was working on the joint document, but "We know it takes time," and it was hard for the document to come out Sunday.?
