Wu Dawei Joint Quotations

The joint statement is the most important achievement in the two years since the start of six-party talks,

I cannot say for sure when we can reach agreement on a joint statement and I cannot say for sure that we will reach agreement after the recess.

I cannot say for sure if we will reach agreement on a common paper after the recess, and I also want to stress the ability to issue a joint paper is not the barometer of success of these talks.

The central task of this fifth round of the six-party talks, starting from today, is to formulate the detailed rules, methods and steps to implement the joint statement under the principle of commitment for commitment and action for action.

All the parties will hold consultations on the implementation of all principles and agreements stated in the Joint Statement reached at the fourth round of the talks,
