US Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill said Friday
afternoon he did not discuss sanction in talks with Chinese
officials about the Korean Peninsula's nuclear issue.
Hill, also chief US negotiator in the six-party talks, arrived
here Friday morning after Wednesday's test-firing of missiles by
the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
Hill said he hopes DPRK can return to the framework of the
six-party talks as soon as possible.
He held talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing, vice FM Wu Dawei and also State
Councilor Tang Jiaxuan during the visit.
