said on Friday.

East Asian and Pacific Affairs and top U.S. negotiator for the six-party
talks, speaks to journalists at a hotel in Beijing July 30, 2005.
[Reuters] | "Tomorrow, all the parties will start the drafting process for a common
document," said the Japanese official who declined to be named.
But he did not say what the document would state.
The Six-Party Talks, which involve China, the Democratic People's Republic of
Korea (DPRK), the United States, the Republic of Korea (ROK), Russia and Japan,
will "enter a new stage," he told a press conference.
ROK deputy chief delegate Cho Tae-yong said on Friday that there will be
another meeting of top delegates on Saturday.
Observers said the frequency of one-on-one meetings between the DPRK and the
United States raised hopes that progress could be made in reaching an agreement
on the first phase of action to realize a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula.
The two sides have held at least four one-on-one
meetings since Tuesday, struggling to bridge their differences. And more such
talks are expected.
