Afternoon Walkthrough With Reporters at Six-Party TalksChristopher R. Hill, Assistant Secretary for East Asian and Pacific AffairsIntercontinental Hotel Shenyang, China August 16, 2007 (Entering the hotel)
QUESTION: How was your meeting? ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: Very good. It was all a bout disablement and declaration and technical questions and making sure we were in sync before we start the plenary, which starts at three o'clock. QUESTION: Do you have any other bilaterals? ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: Just talked very briefly with the Chinese. I met briefly with Li Gun but didn't really have a bilateral. We talked with all the delegations. We had sort of a buffet lunch. QUESTION: With Li Gun, you talked about? ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: Just very briefly. QUESTION: Anything of substance? ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: No. Okay? We'll see you all later. # # # (Leaving the hotel) ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: We've got the three o'clock plenary. We're going off to the three o'clock plenary, and I'll come back afterwards and we can talk about what actually happened at the plenary. I really don't have anything new now. QUESTION: Did you meet with Mr. Li Gun? ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: Very briefly at lunch there. Let's see what happens today. Let's see if it is as I've described -- that is, there should be an exchange of technical approaches to problems that need to be put together in agreement at the next Six-Party plenary. QUESTION: Will you brief after dinner after your meetings? ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: I think I come here after dinner, so I think it will be later on. But stay in touch with Susan. She'll let you know. She knows more than I do. See you later. Released on August 16, 2007 |
