MOSCOW, February 3 (RIA Novosti) - Russia can raise the status of its participation in the six-party talks on North Korea, Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Losyukov said on Tuesday. He foresees the establishment of the post of Russia's special representative for the North Korean nuclear problem.
The post may be created if the sides negotiating in Beijing decide to carry on the consultations in working groups, said the Russian diplomat. He recalled that the USA has the post of special representative at the six-party talks, held by Assistant Secretary of State James Kelly.
The second round of the talks is set for February 25.
