The talks, which also involve South Korea, China, the United States, Japan and Russia, resumed Thursday in the Chinese capital amid hopes for progress toward implementing a September 2005 agreement, in which Pyongyang committed itself to halting its nuclear activities in return for economic and security incentives.
"Tomorrow, we'll have one more day for the negotiations, which will not be extended beyond that day because some delegations are departing on Tuesday or Wednesday," said Alexander Losyukov, who is heading the Russian delegation at the six-nation talks in Beijing.
According to Losyukov, a draft document is being prepared and hopefully it will be finally adopted.
The document is expected to include measures by North Korea to freeze, close down and seal off its nuclear reactor in return for energy assistance.
So far, the negotiating parties have failed to agree on the size, timeframe and terms of aid provision to North Korea.
