On Thursday, the six parties held a series of bilateral talks and the chief negotiators held their second session since the talks resumed on Tuesday.
The six parties, China, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), the United States, the Republic of Korea (ROK), Russia and Japan, reopened the fourth round of talks in the Chinese capital Tuesday after a five-week recess.
