Another round of six-way talks on Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)'s nuclear arms program in November is "a possibility," US Assistant Secretary of State James Kelly, Washington's pointman on Pyongyang, said on Wednesday.

Kelly, in Tokyo for talks with Japanese and South Korean counterparts, said no specific date had been decided, but that Washington and its allies were urging Pyongyang to come back to the negotiating table as soon as possible.

Asked if talks might be held in November, he said: "It's a possibility."
