All the parties concerned to the six-party talks agreed to make continued efforts to accumulate and expand consensus during their fourth-day negotiation in Beijing Friday, according to sources with the Chinese delegation.

The heads of delegations from the six nations held small-group talks and further exchanged views on relevant issues on Friday, the sources said.

The delegations of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the United States will have another one-on-one meeting here Saturday, sources said Friday.

The two sides have held four such meetings since Monday, but the results of the meetings are yet to be known.
