Some analysts said the reason for the delay might be that Pyongyang wanted to
assess the outcome of the summit between China and the United States, the
country it considers its main adversary.
While all six parties agree in principle to denuclearisation of the Korean
Peninsula, analysts said North Korea and the United States remain far apart on
the key issue of Pyongyang's right to a civilian nuclear program to be able to
reach agreement soon.
U.S. officials have been skeptical about allowing North Korea to pursue such
a program out of concern that it would actually be used for military purposes.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry official said on Tuesday the various parties,
notably China, had taken advantage of the recess to conduct extensive
consultations.
He Yafei said the main problem to emerge in the first stage of the latest
round of talks was that the parties concerned differed on Pyongyang's right to
peaceful use of nuclear power.
The Korean nuclear issue was so complicated that it could not be solved in
merely several rounds of talks, He said. "There is still a long way to
go."
