Russia and China's top nuclear envoys are looking into resuming multilateral negotiations over Pyongyang's nuclear program, according to China's Foreign Ministry.
Senior Chinese Nuclear Envoy Wu Dawei held talks on Tuesday with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Igor Morgulov in Beijing regarding North Korea's nuclear problem.
The sides exchanged their views on resuming the six-party talks, Yonhap reported, citing China's Foreign Ministry. The six-party negotiations involving North Korea, South Korea, Russia, China, Japan and the United States, aimed to find a peaceful resolution to security concerns sparked by North Korea's nuclear weapons program.
However, the talks have been stalled for around six years. Pyongyang has repeatedly called upon the nations to resume the negotiations, insisting that the talks should be held without preconditions. In their turn, Seoul and Washington claimed that North Korea should first demonstrate its commitment toward giving up its nuclear weapons program. Pyongyang carried out its third and most powerful nuclear test in early 2013
